Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 60 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 79 kt, 19 kt past the 60 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 60 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 112 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 112 fpm next time
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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 5.1° off, against a 1° limit and speed 48 kt FAST on the reference speed of 62 kt.

Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 15 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Mudry CAP 10 taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated to a take-off distance of 380 m, representing 31 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 83 kt. Ambient conditions were 32 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 153°, providing a 4 kt cross-wind component and an 8 kt head-wind component.
During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered 1 nm from runway 18 in 25 seconds, then proceeded on the cross-wind leg for another 1 nm in 31 seconds. The down-wind turn covered 3 nm with an angle to the runway of 58.1°, followed by a down-wind leg of 3 nm completed in 79 seconds. The base-turn segment spanned 3 nm at an angle of 38.3°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 15 seconds. The final-turn segment was also less than 1 nm, taking 27 seconds, before the aircraft established the final approach on a heading of 187.0° at 1 nm and 667 ft AGL.
The CAP 10 commenced the final approach to runway 18 from the north and touched down with a threshold speed slightly above target at 65 kt. Touchdown occurred 13 m beyond the threshold at a speed of 64 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 98 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 6.9 m from the centreline. The total landing roll measured 274 m, equivalent to 22 % of the 1 224 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was judged very good. Weather at the time of landing was 32 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 154°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind and a 7 kt head-wind component.
After touchdown the aircraft rolled out along the runway with the previously noted very good alignment, completing the landing phase without further incident.
In total the flight covered 11 nm, taking 6, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The Mudry CAP 10 conducted the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the north, maintaining a heading of 187.0° at 1 nm and 667 ft agl. Local weather was 32 °C with wind 7 kt from 154°, providing a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly above target at 65 kt.
Touchdown occurred 13 m down the runway at a speed of 64 kt, which was fast, while the vertical rate was excellent at minus 98 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 274 m, representing 22 % of the 1,224 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the performance, reduce the approach speed to meet the target and thereby avoid a fast touchdown, and aim for tighter centreline alignment at touchdown to eliminate the 6.9 m offset.
