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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 07 at the ETNS Schleswig Air Base. The takeoff distance was 785 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 78 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 45 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead the town of Selk in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 732 feet above sea level to 1,112 feet, an increase of 380 feet, in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile northwest of Selk. The final approach to runway 07 at ETNS Schleswig Air Base was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 74.0 degrees at an altitude of 358 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 07 was notable for several factors. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 75 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 351 meters, and the touchdown speed at 61 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 43 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,336 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing from the runway to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at ETNS Schleswig Air Base, achieving a score of 91.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 74.0° at 0 nm and 358 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
Upon analysis, it was noted that the threshold height at 67 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high during the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 75 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to slow down sufficiently before touchdown. However, the touchdown distance of 351 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and land safely.
The touchdown speed of 61 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly high threshold height. The touchdown rate of -266 fpm was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without excessive deceleration. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 kt at 43°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind was 3 kt, which may have helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,336 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and align the aircraft with the centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with a score of 91.1% indicating a high level of proficiency.
