Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 106 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 124 kt, 18 kt past the 106 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 106 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 89 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 98 kt, 9 kt above the 89 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 89 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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: sink rate 1,404 fpm, more than the glideslope needed 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 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 127 kt in a distance of 940 meters, which accounted for 38% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 10 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft aligned itself with the runway, preparing for the final approach. The approach was executed from the north-east, with a heading of 232.0° at an altitude of 270 ft above ground level.
The aircraft landed smoothly on runway 23, touching down 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 77 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -78 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 893 meters, accounting for 36% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, consuming a total of 8 nm of distance and 4 minutes of time. The flight also resulted in a fuel savings of 27 kg.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 232.0° at 0 nm and 270 ft above ground level. The approach quality was exceptional, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 98 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down 58 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 77 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were outstanding, with a touchdown rate of -78 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further enhancing the safety and control of the landing.
The total landing distance of 893 m, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed flawlessly, with a score of 100.0% reflecting the exceptional performance of the pilot and the aircraft.
