Hold the approach speed
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,277 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,277 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 239 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, ES30, taking off from runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport. The departure roll started on the runway, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 66% of the runway's length, which was 840 meters. The liftoff speed was 104 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Gersthofen, a town in Bavaria, Germany. The climb began at an altitude of 2,346 feet above sea level and reached a height of 2,520 feet above sea level, an increase of 174 feet, in just 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 250 degrees at an altitude of 977 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which was 1,277 meters long, and the threshold height was good.
However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 98 knots, which may have required the pilot to take some corrective action to ensure a safe landing. The touchdown distance was good at 237 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 96 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 489 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 246 degrees.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating that the flight was likely a short training exercise or a test flight.
The aircraft ES30 successfully landed at EDMA Augsburg Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 25 was executed from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at 2 nautical miles and 977 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a standard instrument approach, given the aircraft's ability to maintain a precise heading and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 96 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 237 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly.
The threshold speed of 98 knots was excessively high, which may have been due to the pilot's caution or the aircraft's performance characteristics. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a precise alignment with the runway during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot at 246°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 489 meters, which is 38% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout, and that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
Overall, the landing of aircraft ES30 at EDMA Augsburg Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their flight operations. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was executed smoothly and safely.
