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: 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 108 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, EGGP. The Hawk T1 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 134 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 122 knots, marking the start of its journey.
As the aircraft climbed out of Liverpool, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Hale, a town in the Borough of Halton, England. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,081 feet above sea level to 1,952 feet, an increase of 871 feet in just 2 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Great Sankey, a town in Warrington, England. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Bowdon, a town in Trafford, England. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,902 feet above sea level to 522 feet, a decrease of 1,380 feet in just 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Manchester Airport, it began its final approach to runway 05L from the south west, heading 56.0° at an altitude of 299 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 110 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 108 meters, and the touchdown speed was 104 knots, which was also satisfactory.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was, however, very heavy at -743 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 821 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline.
The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 83 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Hawk T1 aircraft successfully landed on runway 05L at Manchester Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 56.0° at 1 nautical mile and 299 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 110 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 108 meters was also within acceptable limits. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 104 knots was satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing phase. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -743 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate some room for improvement in terms of landing technique.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance of 821 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.9 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
