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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,005 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 32 at EKSB Sønderborg Airport. The takeoff distance was 205 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb began 1 mile northwest of EKSB Sønderborg Airport. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,007 feet above sea level to 2,097 feet, an increase of 1,090 feet, in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Nordborg and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28R at EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base, approaching from the east at a heading of 289.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,496 feet above ground level, which was 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 28R was successful, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 424 meters, and the touchdown speed was 53 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base, achieving a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,496 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 19°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 53 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 424 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the threshold speed, which was well above the target speed of 76 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been taking a cautious approach to ensure a safe landing. However, this did not compromise the overall performance of the aircraft, as the touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a very smooth and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The total landing distance of 670 meters, which accounted for only 22% of the runway length, further highlights the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach and touchdown.
