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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 24 at EDLW Dortmund Airport. The takeoff distance was 283 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 66 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 12,733 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,303 feet from the initial altitude of 1,430 feet. This climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Telgte, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Loeningen, Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 13,008 feet to 4,435 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 2 miles northwest of Holtland, Lower Saxony, Germany. However, this phase was short-lived, lasting only 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles west of Neukamperfehn, Lower Saxony, Germany. The descent took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 3,987 feet to 1,342 feet.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDWE Emden Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 253.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 50 knots and a touchdown distance of 220 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 27 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDWE Emden Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 253.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,337 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated precise control and navigation skills, ultimately landing safely on runway 25.
The runway at EDWE Emden Airport has a length of 998 meters, which presented a suitable landing surface for the Cessna C172. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold during the approach. The threshold speed of 63 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage airspeed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown distance of 220 meters, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's airspeed during the final stages of the approach. The touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating their skills and experience in handling various weather scenarios.
Overall, the landing of the Cessna C172 at EDWE Emden Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and controlled touchdown.
