Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 71 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 85 kt, 14 kt above the 71 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 71 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 1.2° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° 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 433 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 77 kt in a distance of 366 m, which accounted for 15% 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 swift and precise turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent downwind leg was flown at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nm covered in a turn of 130.2°. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm, taking 58 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was executed with equal precision, with a distance of 1 nm covered in a turn of 10.4°. The final approach was made from the north-east, with a heading of 232.0° at 232 ft above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was executed with precision, with a touchdown speed of 58 kt and a touchdown rate of -60 fpm, indicating an excellent touchdown. The touchdown distance of 436 m was also within acceptable limits, accounting for 17.5% of the available runway length. The total landing distance of 683 m, which represented 27% of the runway length, was a testament to the aircraft's handling and the pilot's skill. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the total flight distance of 5 nm was covered in 4 minutes, with no fuel being consumed.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, with a heading of 232.0° at 0 nm and 232 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 85 kt. This allowed the pilot to maintain a safe margin for landing, despite the relatively short runway length of 2,493 m.
As the aircraft touched down, it did so at a speed of 58 kt, which was good, and a distance of 436 m, which was also good. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, at -60 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 relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 683 m, which was 27% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
