Keep the wings level on final
See Arrival Final 4
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 73 kt with 3.7° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 534 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 1,570 m of runway left; then climbing at 620 fpm on average to 534 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,482 m runway.
Rolled from 417 m in, drifted 2.1 m left of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 27 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 680 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 846 m right of the centreline, then inside the band from 1.3 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 78 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 48 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −8 kt and +50 kt on the approach speed of 80 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 160° at 13 kt · 13 kt head · 1 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 50 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 841 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 24 ft, 26 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 156 m in, 149 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 841 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 450 fpm at 23 ft to 170 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.7° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the full 841 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1.6 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
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.
