Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 88 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 99 kt, 11 kt above the 88 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 88 kt at the threshold.
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: gear still up, centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 19° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 113 kt in 1,334 meters, which represented 54% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 24 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in an equally impressive 11 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 83.4° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was completed in 31 seconds, after which the aircraft began its base leg turn, reducing the angle to the runway to 53.8°. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 230.0° and an altitude of 329 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 81 kt and a distance of 457 meters, representing 28% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -98 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a straight line, with the runway rollout alignment also being very good. The total landing distance was 705 meters, and the aircraft used a total of 2 kg of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 7 nm and took approximately 3 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 230.0° at 0 nm and 329 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 100 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 457 m was within the desired parameters, and the touchdown speed of 81 kt was also satisfactory.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -98 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further enhancing the approach's stability.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 705 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 96.9%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
