Keep the wings level on final
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Buildis F406 Caravan II cargo plane, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDN Nuremberg Airport. This process took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 529 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 116 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 99 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb began shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 2,040 feet above sea level to 4,553 feet above sea level. This climb of 2,514 feet took place over a distance of 3 nautical miles in just 1 minute.
The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Nuernberg, with the aircraft descending from 4,479 feet above sea level to 1,447 feet above sea level. This descent of 3,032 feet took 4 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 103.0 degrees at an altitude of 404 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 10 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 82 knots and a touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 375 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 100 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used 46 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in terms of takeoff, climb, descent, and landing.
The aircraft in question, an iniBuilds F406 Caravan II (Cargo), successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with an impressive score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 10 was executed from the west, with a heading of 103.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 404 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was carried out on a runway that measures 2,693 meters in length, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 106 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 375 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 82 knots was also good, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
The touchdown rate of -158 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the desired range, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 814 meters was only 30% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a short distance. The high score of 99.5% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled landing.
