Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 69 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 75 kt, 6 kt above the 69 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 69 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: centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit.

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 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114 (N1107L) taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 419 m, which represented 17 % of the available runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 77 kt. Ambient conditions were 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, resulting in a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
During the approach the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23. The entry segment covered less than 1 nm in 25 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind segment of less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 45° turn angle of 80.4°, after which the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 80 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 2 nm with a 45° turn angle of 46.1°, and the base leg itself was less than 1 nm in 27 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 39 seconds, placing the aircraft on final approach from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and 317 ft AGL.
The landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 76 kt. Touchdown occurred 314 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 63 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the time remained 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and zero head-wind.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, taking 5, and consumed 18 kg of fuel.
The aircraft Black Square Commander 114 N1107L established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 231.0° at one nautical mile and 317 ft above ground level.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 76 kt.
Touchdown occurred 314 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a vertical rate of -63 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The landing earned a perfect score of 100.0 %, indicating excellent technique; a minor refinement would be to fine-tune the approach speed to match the target threshold speed while preserving the already exemplary performance.
