Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep wings level during the climb.
What happened: Bank angle increased during the climb, drifting wider than it should have.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with minimal bank
Arrival
Select landing flap before the 500 ft stabilization gate; do not continue the approach clean into the threshold.
What happened: Landing flap was not set for the approach, leaving the aircraft clean and carrying 8 kt too much speed at the threshold. Crossing fast like that usually carries the touchdown point long, and here it landed 72 m past the target.
Watch for: Flap indicator and configuration before the 500 ft gate on final.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 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 300 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Extra 330 taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the take-off roll, covering 264 m which represented 22 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 69 kt. Ambient conditions were 35 °C with a 5 kt wind from 181°, providing a 5 kt head-wind component and no cross-wind.
During the en-route segment the aircraft entered a level cruise over Florstadt, Hessen, Germany. The cruise segment lasted 3 minutes and spanned 6 nm before the descent began.
On final approach the aircraft was established on a heading of 178.0° at 1 nm and 517 ft agl, inbound to runway 18 from the north. The approach was conducted under a temperature of 36 °C, a wind of 8 kt from 181° (head-wind component 8 kt) and zero cross-wind.
Landing was executed on runway 18, whose length is 1,227 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 87 kt, higher than optimal, while touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 67 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was smooth at minus 138 fpm and the touchdown point was offset 3.4 m to the right of the centreline. The total landing roll measured 952 m, representing 78 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
Overall, the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 4 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The Extra 330 conducted the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north, tracking a heading of 178.0° at 1 nm and 517 ft AGL. Local weather was 36 °C with a wind from 181° at 8 kt, giving a headwind component of 8 kt and no crosswind.
The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 87 kt. The aircraft continued the flare and touchdown sequence from this speed.
Touchdown occurred 150 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 67 kt that was good and a smooth touchdown rate of minus 138 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 952 m, representing 78 % of the 1,227 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the threshold speed to bring it within the target range, and adjust the flare timing to achieve touchdown within the designated zone, which will further improve the landing performance.
