Hold the approach angle
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: 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 1,730 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 380 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, then departed from runway 28R at EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base. The takeoff distance was 191 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 270°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airbase, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EKSP Skrydstrup Air Base. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 492 feet above sea level to 3,066 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,573 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 2 miles south east of Vojens, in the Region Syddanmark, Denmark.
The enroute descent phase began 5 miles east of Koge, in the Region Sjaelland, Denmark. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,730 feet above sea level to 2,039 feet above sea level, a decrease of 691 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 3 miles north east of Koge.
The final approach to runway 29 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 289.0° at an altitude of 561 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 29, which had a length of 1,730 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 72 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 379 meters, and the touchdown speed was 53 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, a wind speed of 16 knots at 300°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 501 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 116 nautical miles and took 53 minutes to complete, using 27 kilograms of fuel.
The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 289.0° at 2 nautical miles and 561 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature was 18°C, and the wind was blowing at 16 knots from 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 knots, indicating a controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 379 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range at 53 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance was 501 meters, which is only 29% of the runway length. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control.
