Hold the approach angle
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Groningen Airport Eelde, EHGG, commenced with a roll on runway 23. The Phenom 300E accelerated to liftoff speed of 124 kt, covering a takeoff distance of 1,622 meters, which represented 65% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off smoothly, with a local temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from a direction of 229 °.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 1,015 feet above sea level to 1,505 feet. This climb, which lasted for 1 minute, resulted in an increase of 490 feet and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Donderen, a location in the province of Drenthe, The Netherlands. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This phase was conducted 1 mile northeast of Norg, another location in the province of Drenthe.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG was initiated from a heading of 50.0 °, approximately 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 1,443 feet above ground level, before touching down on the runway. The touchdown point was 224 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 95 kt and a touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,183 meters, representing 47% of the available runway length. The aircraft utilized a total of 15 nautical miles of distance and 6 minutes of flight time, consuming -190 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft descending from 4 nm and 1,443 ft above ground level, heading 50.0°. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 106 kt, well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 224 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 95 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -94 fpm was exceptional, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained its centreline alignment, with a very good runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 229°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind of 3 kt had a minimal impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,183 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with perfect alignment on the centreline. The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a score of 96.0%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a highly satisfactory landing, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
