Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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 rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, where the aircraft, a Cessna C172, successfully took off after covering a distance of 45 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 59 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius.
Following the departure, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 24, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 38 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind was also executed efficiently, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind turn, which required a distance of 2 nautical miles and an angle of 63.8 degrees to the runway.
As the aircraft continued its pattern, it covered a distance of 3 nautical miles on the downwind leg in 121 seconds. The base leg turn, which was also a right-hand turn, required a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle of 34.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in 55 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final turn, which was also a right-hand turn, was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds.
The final approach to runway 24 was made from the north-east, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at an altitude of 687 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 46 knots. The touchdown distance was recorded at 73 meters, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -54 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the threshold height was good.
The aircraft used a total of 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 9 nautical miles in 10 minutes. The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield, achieving a score of 91.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 687 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 24.
The runway at EDLH Hamm-Lippewiesen Airfield has a length of 610 meters, which is a relatively short runway. However, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and altitude to ensure a safe touchdown. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold.
The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should be flying as it crosses the runway threshold, was slightly below the target speed of 52 knots. Despite this, the pilot was still able to achieve a good touchdown distance of 73 meters. The touchdown speed of 46 knots was also reported as good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed before touchdown.
One of the most impressive aspects of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -54 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any significant impact, which is a key factor in ensuring the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
In terms of the local weather conditions, the temperature at the time of the landing was 14°C, which is a relatively cool temperature. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, and the pilot was able to successfully navigate the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, with a good touchdown distance, speed, and rate.
