See Arrival Final 1
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 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 277 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 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, a small airfield in Germany. The Bonanza G36 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 425 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind of 5 knots at 140 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 1,287 feet above sea level (asl) before beginning its enroute climb.
The first enroute climb started overhead Florstadt, a town in Hessen, Germany. The aircraft climbed from 1,287 ft asl to 2,072 ft asl, an increase of 785 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid climb was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 2,319 ft asl to 3,350 ft asl, an increase of 1,031 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb took place 1 mile south east of Schotten, another town in Hessen, Germany. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles, this time overhead EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield Ulrichstein.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began a descent from 3,055 ft asl to 2,122 ft asl, a decrease of 933 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This descent took place 3 miles south west of Schotten. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted 5 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles, this time overhead Nidda, a town in Hessen, Germany.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was made from the south, with a heading of 10.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 809 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots and a touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.1 meters.
The total landing distance was 668 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind of 6 knots at 132 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 44 nautical miles, which was covered in 19 minutes. The aircraft used 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was smooth and controlled, with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed. However, there were some minor issues with runway alignment during landing and rollout.
The Bonanza G36 aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving an overall score of 88.5%. The final approach to runway 36 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 10.0° at 1 nautical mile and 809 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on the runway with a threshold speed of 78 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 68 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively, resulting in a smooth touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.1 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor error in navigation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 132°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the tailwind component was also 4 knots, which suggests that the wind was relatively light and not a significant factor in the landing. The total landing distance was 668 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed the approach and touchdown effectively.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters. This may have been due to a minor error in control or a slight deviation in the rollout. However, the pilot's overall performance during the landing was satisfactory, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.
