Track the centreline
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: centreline 2.2° off, against a 1° 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 395 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 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to liftoff speed of 133 kt within 873 meters, or 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off smoothly, with a local temperature of 17 °C and a negligible headwind of 1 kt.
As the Phenom 300E transitioned to enroute climb, it started ascending from 967 ft above sea level to 2,400 ft, a vertical gain of 1,433 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile west of Yde, a small town in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent, reducing altitude from 2,392 ft to 626 ft in 5 minutes, while covering 12 nautical miles. The descent was initiated 1 mile east of Norg, another town in the same province. The aircraft then leveled off at 2,400 ft, maintaining a steady heading for 2 minutes, before commencing its final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde.
The Phenom 300E approached the runway from the northeast, aligning itself with the threshold at 1 nautical mile and 301 ft above ground level. The aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 94 kt and a touchdown rate of -123 fpm. The total landing distance was 813 meters, or 33% of the runway length, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The aircraft used 181 kg of fuel for the entire flight, covering a total distance of 21 nautical miles in 9 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 230.0° at 1 nm and 301 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent, with a good approach quality that set the stage for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing the aircraft to touch down at the optimal point on the runway.
As the aircraft touched down, it did so at a speed of 94 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 399 m was also good, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown rate of -123 fpm was smooth, further contributing to a safe and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, also played a favorable role in the landing.
The total landing distance of 813 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 98.8% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
