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 1,793 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 28R at EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base. The takeoff distance was 290 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 64 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base, Vojens, in Region Syddanmark, Denmark. The climb began at an altitude of 350 feet above sea level and reached 1,971 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,621 feet, in just 3 minutes while covering 4 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 4 miles south east of Vojens and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles north of EKSB Sønderborg Airport, Sønderborg, in Region Syddanmark, Denmark. The descent from 1,998 feet above sea level to 1,536 feet above sea level, a decrease of 462 feet, took 2 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile north of Augustenborg and lasted for 4 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32 at EKSB Sønderborg Airport was made from the south east, heading 319.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,388 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 32 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 372 meters, which is good considering the runway length of 1,793 meters. The touchdown speed was 50 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270°.
The total landing distance was 775 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 33 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 23 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at EKSB Sønderborg Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 319.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,388 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 32.
The runway at EKSB Sønderborg Airport is 1,793 meters long, providing ample space for the aircraft to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude before touching down. 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's speed was 50 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 372 meters was also within the acceptable range, showing that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown rate of -135 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and avoided any hard landings.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's excellent spatial awareness and control. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 4 knots each, which made the landing even more challenging but the pilot still managed to achieve a perfect touchdown.
The total landing distance of 775 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and distance during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, showing that the pilot had successfully brought the aircraft to a stop without any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the entire process.
