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 4.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 13° 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 234 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114, registration N1107L, taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced its take-off roll. The aircraft used 514 m of runway, representing 21 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 83 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 12 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind component.
During the approach the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23, beginning with a left-hand entry that covered less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg was also less than 1 nm and lasted 20 seconds. A downwind turn of 1 nm was executed at a 45° angle of 83.3°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 71 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm at a 45° angle of 36.1°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and took 26 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and required 18 seconds, after which the aircraft established the final approach from the north-east on a heading of 227.0° at 1 nm and 362 ft AGL.
Landing was performed on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 72 kt. Touchdown occurred 237 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 76 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the time of landing was a temperature of 11 °C, wind 1 kt from 169°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 0 kt.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed -38 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north-east on a heading of 227.0° at 1 nm and 362 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 kt.
Touchdown occurred 237 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 76 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The overall score of 97.2 % reflects an excellent landing; a minor refinement is to adjust speed management so that the threshold speed matches the target, ensuring consistent compliance with the approach speed envelope.
