Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold centreline within 11 m.
What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline during the ground roll, deviating 11 m, and that same drift carried into the climb as a heading deviation of 1.8°. Centreline control issues on the roll usually carry forward into the initial climb heading.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator, holding runway heading within 1.8° during the initial climb.
Arrival
Select landing flap before the stabilisation gate rather than carrying it in late.
What happened: Landing flap was not set at the stabilisation gate on approach.
Watch for: Watch the flap indicator against the landing flap position before the gate.
See Arrival Approach
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: 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set and wings 18° of bank, against a 10° limit.

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 224 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Extra 330 departed EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield on runway 18, achieving lift-off after a takeoff run of 236 m, which represented 19 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 73 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind from 211° at 6 kt, providing a 5 kt headwind component and a 3 kt cross-wind component.
Level cruise commenced overhead Florstadt, Hessen, Germany and was maintained for 3 minutes while the aircraft covered 7 nm.
During the final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield the aircraft was positioned 1 nm north of the threshold on a heading of 179.0° at 328 ft agl. Weather at the time was 22 °C, wind 6 kt from 211°, with a 5 kt headwind and a 3 kt cross-wind.
The landing was executed on runway 18, whose length is 1,227 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 71 kt and touchdown occurred 225 m down the runway at 61 kt. The aircraft settled at a vertical speed of minus 70 fpm, with runway-touchdown alignment described as perfect. Total landing distance measured 625 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was noted as very good.
Runway rollout proceeded with the aircraft remaining well aligned throughout the deceleration phase, confirming the previously observed good rollout alignment.
In total, the flight covered 9 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was flown from the north on a heading of 179.0 ° at 1 nm and 328 ft agl, with a temperature of 22 °C, wind 6 kt from 211 °, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was good at 71 kt.
Touchdown occurred 225 m down the runway at a speed of 61 kt, with a touchdown rate of -70 fpm that was rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 625 m, representing 51 % of the 1,227 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 95.2 % the landing was strong; refining the touchdown point slightly forward of the current 225 m mark could reduce the total distance used, and maintaining the already excellent alignment will keep performance at this high level.
