See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 75 kt with 4.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 126 kt, 12 kt over its 114 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 972 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft 32 m past the runway end; gear up at 187 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 920 fpm on average to 972 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 610 m runway.
Rolled from 102 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 7.3 m at the widest, and lifted off 7.3 m left. Airborne 61 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: sinking too fast until 2.3 nm, banked until 1.9 nm, no landing flap until 1.5 nm, left of the centreline from 2.3 nm and low from 0.6 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
On the glideslope from 2.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm, then low to 0.3 nm (up to 180 ft under).
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 131 m right of the centreline at 2.8 nm, then 361 m left of it from 2.3 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The aircraft touched down before the threshold. Everything the flare is measured against - the profile, the crossing height, the aim point - is referenced to a threshold this landing never reached, so read the numbers below as what happened short of the runway, not on it. Landing short is the fault to fix before anything about the hold-off is worth judging.
4 kt across from the right, which takes about 3° of crab to hold the centreline at 72 kt. Touched down with the nose 4° into wind, wings level.
Wind 023° at 5 kt · 2 kt tail · 4 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 76 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 15 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 428 m of the approach.
Began the flare at 25 ft, 875 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 57 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 647 m before the threshold.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 428 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Plan view — the full 428 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 647 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield (EDLH), the Bonanza G36 began its takeoff roll on runway 06. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 76 kt, achieving liftoff at 398 m, which was 65% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C, with a wind of 6 kt at 360°, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,431 ft asl after a 2-minute climb from 699 ft asl. The climb covered a distance of 6 nm, with a vertical gain of 1,732 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 2,431 ft asl for 3 minutes while covering 9 nm. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile north of Oelde Bergeler Airfield (EDLU), with the aircraft descending from 2,140 ft asl to 293 ft asl in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 27L at Gütersloh Air Base (ETUO) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 250.0° at 2 nm and 36 ft agl. However, a go-around was executed at 127 ft agl, and the aircraft subsequently touched down before the threshold. The touchdown speed of 72 kt and touchdown rate of -188 fpm were both within acceptable limits. Despite a slightly misaligned touchdown, the aircraft's total landing distance of 387 m, which was 91% of the runway's length, was satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the flight with a total distance of 29 nm and a fuel consumption of 8 kg.
