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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, where the aircraft, Beast Horus, took off with a takeoff distance of 397 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from 184 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Florstadt in Hessen, Germany, rising from an altitude of 1,443 feet above sea level to 10,159 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,715 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 2 miles south of Buedingen in Hessen, Germany. The descent from 10,093 feet above sea level to 2,185 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,908 feet in 5 minutes, covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase of the flight demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently descend and maintain control.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was initiated from the north, heading 189.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,758 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 64 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 237 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute.
However, the landing was not without its challenges, as the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from 183 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 417 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.2 meters from the centerline.
In conclusion, the flight was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill, with a total flight distance of 23 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 16 kilograms. The flight demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently climb, descend, and land, despite some minor challenges during the landing phase.
The landing of the Beast Horus aircraft at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield has been evaluated with a score of 79.8%. The final approach to runway 18 was initiated from the north, heading 189.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,758 feet above ground level. The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, which has a length of 1,230 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 237 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
Despite the successful landing, there were some notable issues. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -2°C and a wind of 5 knots at 183°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 417 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good landing performance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 27.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing of the Beast Horus aircraft at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot may need to work on maintaining a more accurate centerline alignment during the landing roll, and may need to adjust their approach and landing technique to better account for wind and other environmental factors.
