Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,035 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,035 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 32 at EDXW Westerland Sylt Airport, with a takeoff distance of 627 meters, which was 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Kampen, Germany, and climbing from an altitude of 1,046 feet above sea level to 15,147 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,100 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 5 miles southeast of Wyk auf Foehr, Germany, and lasting 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Tetenhusen, Germany, and descending from 14,817 feet above sea level to 1,945 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,872 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Krummbek, Germany, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport was made from the east, heading 262.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 419 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 78 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -213 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 259°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 901 meters, which was 87% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 99 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 94 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EDHK Kiel-Holtenau Airport, with a final approach from the east at a heading of 262.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot's approach and landing were deemed satisfactory, with a score of 91.5%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 91 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance of 419 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 78 knots was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -213 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 259°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 901 meters was 87% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and precision to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing and subsequent rollout. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
