Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 698 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 698 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 259 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 area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09 at EDHE Uetersen Airfield, with a takeoff distance of 208 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 53 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 270°. The crosswind was negligible, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute level cruise began approximately 1 mile northwest of Winterhude, a suburb in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDXM Flugplatz St. Michaelisdonn was initiated from the east, with a heading of 263.0° at an altitude of 68 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 66 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 257 meters, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 54 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -103 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 269°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 4 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters. The total landing distance was 436 meters, accounting for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centreline by 16.7 meters.
In conclusion, the total flight distance was 47 nautical miles, which was covered in 37 minutes. The flight used approximately 10 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EDXM Flugplatz St. Michaelisdonn, with a final approach from the east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 68 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 263.0°, which is aligned with the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 698 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 66 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was a bit aggressive in their approach.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 257 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a bit fast, at 54 knots. This may have contributed to a slightly rougher landing. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -103 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indicator of a controlled descent.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even smoother.
The total landing distance was 436 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot did a good job of controlling the aircraft's descent. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly off, deviating from the centerline by 16.7 meters. This may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's brakes.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a score of 94.0%. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision, but there were a few minor issues that need to be addressed to achieve a perfect landing.
