Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 50 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 80 kt, 30 kt past the 50 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 50 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 62 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 71 kt, 9 kt above the 62 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 62 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 7.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,293 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,293 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 30 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The JMB VL-3 Sprint taxied to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced its take-off roll. The aircraft used 496 m of runway, representing 38 % of the available length, and lifted off at 88 kt. Ambient temperature at the time was 26 °C.
During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern for runway 36. The entry segment covered 1 nm in 39 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind leg of 2 nm completed in 35 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 4 nm with a 45° turn angle of 50.2°, after which the downwind leg extended another 4 nm and was flown in 99 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 3 nm with a 45° turn angle of 61.7°, and the subsequent base leg was 1 nm long, taking 42 seconds. The final turn added a further 1 nm in 55 seconds before the aircraft commenced the final approach, descending from 497 ft AGL to 63 ft AGL in 35 seconds and meeting the stabilisation gates.
On touchdown the aircraft contacted runway 36 at a point 30 m short of the threshold; the threshold speed was recorded at 71 kt, above the target. Touchdown speed was 62 kt and the vertical speed was minus 264 fpm, with the wheel track displaced 8.3 m from the centreline. Local temperature at landing was 25 °C.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 418 m, equivalent to 32 % of the runway length, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 10.6 m from the centreline.
In total the flight covered 14 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
