Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 50 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 66 kt, 16 kt past the 50 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 50 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 20 ft instead of holding it level.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 20 ft and held there instead of being let down.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown
See Arrival Landing
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 300 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 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 5.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
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 58 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The JMB VL-3 Sprint taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft used 272 m of runway, representing 22 % of the available length, and rotated at 66 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 262° at 14 kt, giving a 2 kt headwind component and a 14 kt cross-wind component.
After lift-off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern on runway 18, covering 1 nm in 30 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also measured 1 nm, completed in 24 seconds.
During the downwind turn the aircraft described a 3 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 52.9°.
The downwind leg extended 3 nm and was flown in 76 seconds.
The base-leg turn again spanned 3 nm, this time with an angle to the runway of 47.1°.
The base leg was less than 1 nm long and was completed in 17 seconds.
The final turn to align with the runway covered 1 nm and required 59 seconds.
On final approach to runway 18 the aircraft descended from 406 ft AGL to 71 ft AGL in 50 seconds and successfully met the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred on runway 18, whose total length is 1,224 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 68 kt. The aircraft touched down 58 m from the threshold at 65 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 68 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.4 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance was 391 m, representing 32 % of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was off by 10.1 m from the centreline.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 12 nm, lasted 9 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
