Settle the descent rate
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,237 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° 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 482 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, runway 23, the Phenom 300E took to the skies, accelerating down the 665-meter takeoff distance, which represented 27% of the available runway. At a liftoff speed of 116 kt, the aircraft broke free from the ground, initiating its climb. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, contributed to a smooth departure.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 976 ft above sea level to 1,570 ft, a vertical increase of 593 ft over a distance of 5 nm, achieved within 2 minutes. This climb profile showcased the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude. Later, the enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile north of Tynaarlo, where the aircraft descended from 1,565 ft to 316 ft, a decrease of 1,249 ft over 4 nm, also within a 2-minute timeframe. This demonstrated the aircraft's capacity for controlled and precise descents.
The final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and 296 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 106 kt, and the touchdown point was 55 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 93 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -99 fpm was excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 m from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 932 m represented 37% of the available runway. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nm, utilized 342 kg of fuel and lasted 5 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 231.0° at 1 nautical mile and 296 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 106 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 93 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -99 feet per minute, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline, the rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.
The total landing distance was 932 meters, accounting for 37% of the runway length. Considering the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, the landing performance was satisfactory. Overall, the landing was scored 98.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
