Hold the approach angle
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA40-NG began with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 03 at LTAE Akinci AB, with a takeoff distance of 442 m, which was 13% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 kn. The local weather at the time of departure indicated a temperature of 15°C with a wind speed of 1 kn coming from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and tailwind components.
The enroute climb commenced 1 mile northeast of LTAE Akinci AB Ankara, with the aircraft climbing from 3,770 ft asl to 3,966 ft asl in less than 1 minute, gaining an altitude of 196 ft while covering less than 1 nm. Subsequently, the enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile northeast of LTAE Akinci AB Ankara and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 11 at LTAD Etimesgut AB, which had a runway length of 2,452 m. The aircraft was at a height of 42 ft agl at the threshold, with a speed of 69 kn. The touchdown took place 423 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 56 kn and a VSI of -73 ft/m. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a slight tailwind component.
The total landing distance was 1,138 m, which accounted for 46% of the total runway length at LTAD Etimesgut AB. The total flight distance covered was 16 nm, with a total duration of 15 minutes. Throughout the flight, 3 kg of fuel were consumed.
First of all, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 97.2%! This is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the high level of skill and precision demonstrated throughout the landing phases.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is commendable to note that the glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates a strong ability to maintain the correct descent trajectory and approach angle, which is crucial for a safe and smooth landing. Additionally, having the speed slightly below the target shows a good balance between maintaining a controlled approach and ensuring a safe touchdown.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that you executed a well-controlled descent, as indicated by the good threshold height and perfect landing flare. A proper landing flare is essential for reducing the rate of descent and ensuring a soft touchdown, further enhancing the safety and comfort of the landing.
The Touchdown Phase showcases your proficiency in landing the aircraft precisely on target. Achieving an excellent touchdown rate and maintaining the correct speed demonstrates a high level of precision and control during this critical phase of the landing. Moreover, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone reflects your ability to consistently land the aircraft within the designated area, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, having the runway alignment only 6.8 meters from the centerline indicates a precise landing and alignment with the runway. Maintaining alignment with the runway centerline is essential for ensuring a safe and efficient rollout after touchdown.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process demonstrates a high level of skill, precision, and attention to detail. Keep up the excellent work, and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of aircraft operation. Your dedication to safe and proficient flying is truly commendable, and I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in your future landings. Great job!
