Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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 6.4° 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 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, completing a departure roll of 696 m, which is 28 % of the runway length, and lifted off at a speed of 84 kt.
A left-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 23, covering 2 nm in 25 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg extended 1 nm and required 29 seconds to complete.
During the pattern downwind turn the aircraft flew 2 nm while turning to an angle of 62.0 ° relative to the runway.
The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and was flown in 57 seconds.
The base-leg turn covered another 2 nm, turning to an angle of 78.8 ° to the runway.
The base leg was again 2 nm in length and was completed in 59 seconds.
The final turn was less than 1 nm and lasted 24 seconds before establishing the final approach.
On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 320 ft agl to 36 ft agl in 21 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,490 m; the threshold speed was 82 kt, touchdown occurred at 282 m from the threshold at 64 kt, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 396 fpm. The total landing distance was 449 m, representing 18 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
In total the flight covered 12 nm, took 9, and used 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde descended from 320 ft agl to 36 ft agl in 21 seconds and met the stabilisation gates, contributing to an overall score of 88.3 %. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 82 kt, indicating a proper flare initiation.
Touchdown occurred 282 m down the runway at a good speed of 64 kt; the touchdown rate was firm at minus 396 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 449 m, representing 18 % of the 2,490 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
A slight refinement of flare timing could reduce the firm touchdown rate, and adjusting the touchdown point a few metres closer to the 300 m aim point would further optimise runway usage.
