Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,506 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,372 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 17R at KHND Henderson Executive Airport. The L-39 Albatros aircraft accelerated down the 2,917-foot runway, covering 45% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 126 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 317°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of KHND Henderson Executive Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 3,605 feet above sea level and reached a height of 3,270 feet, an increase of 335 feet, in just 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The flight then encountered a go-around situation on runway 35L at KHND Henderson Executive Airport. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 867 feet above ground level before beginning its approach to the runway. The final approach was made from the south, heading 360.0°, at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and an altitude of 405 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 35L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 102 knots and a touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 1,373 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.
The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at KHND Henderson Executive Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 35L was conducted from the south, heading 360.0° at 1 nm and 405 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent into the airport.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, suggesting that the pilot maintained a consistent and stable approach. The threshold speed of 118 kn was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,373 ft was also good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touch down at the correct point on the runway.
The touchdown speed of 102 kn was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -303 fpm was firm but not excessive, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise and consistent approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F and a wind speed of 0 kn from 275°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 4,010 ft was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach, landing, and rollout phases.
