Keep the wings level on final
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.
Side view — the last 841 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 156 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 17R at UBSU Sital Chay Airport. The aircraft, a DA-50, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 73 kt, covering a distance of 288 m, which was 12% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19 °C and a wind speed of 18 kt blowing from 167 °, resulting in a headwind of 18 kt and a negligible crosswind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead UBSU Sital Chay Airport Suraabad in the Khizi Rayon, Azerbaijan. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 506 ft asl to 659 ft asl in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable climb profile.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nm. This cruise phase was initiated 1 mile south east of UBSU Sital Chay Airport Suraabad and allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, UBZA Zabrat Airport, it began its final approach to runway 16 from the north. The approach was made at a heading of 161.0 °, with the aircraft at an altitude of 643 ft agl and 4 nm from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 °C and a wind speed of 13 kt blowing from 159 °, resulting in a headwind of 13 kt and a negligible crosswind of 1 kt.
The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 65 kt and a distance of 155 m, which was 41% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was also good, at -167 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft then rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment and using a total distance of 344 m to come to a stop.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 32 nm and lasted for 18 minutes, using 13 kg of fuel. The flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient climb, cruise, and descent, with good weather conditions and a well-executed landing.
The DA-50 aircraft successfully landed at UBZA Zabrat Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 161.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 643 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 65 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 73 knots. The touchdown distance of 155 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute was good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without any issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a headwind of 13 knots at 159°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot, which made the landing even more challenging and impressive. The runway length of 841 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, and the touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 344 meters was just 41% of the runway length, which is an excellent result. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, without overshooting the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing of the DA-50 aircraft at UBZA Zabrat Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
