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 1.9° 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 265 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 424 m (17 % of the runway) with a liftoff speed of 79 kt. Local weather conditions were 15 °C temperature, wind 1 kt from 273°, with zero cross-wind and head-wind components.
Entering the left-hand pattern from runway 23, the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds.
During the left-hand pattern crosswind leg, the aircraft again traveled less than 1 nm, this time in 20 seconds.
On the downwind leg the aircraft flew 2 nm in 74 seconds.
The base-leg turn spanned 1 nm and was executed at an angle to the runway of 52.6° (45° turn).
The subsequent base-leg segment was less than 1 nm and required 27 seconds to complete.
The final turn to the approach course covered less than 1 nm in 17 seconds.
For the final approach to runway 23 the aircraft aligned on a heading of 231.0°, descending from the north-east to 0 nm and 105 ft AGL.
Landing was performed on runway 23 (length 2,493 m) with a threshold speed of 71 kt; touchdown occurred 266 m down the runway at 55 kt and a touchdown rate of -84 fpm. The total landing distance was 545 m (22 % of the runway) and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Rollout continued without deviation, confirming the alignment remained perfect through the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, took 5 (units as reported), and consumed 10 kg of fuel.
Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ achieved a perfect final-approach score of 100.0 % as it descended to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 231.0 ° and reaching 0 nm and 105 ft agl on the final segment.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was set at 71 kt.
Touchdown occurred 266 m down the runway at a speed of 55 kt with a vertical rate of minus 84 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 545 m, representing 22 % of the 2,493 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the current technique that produced the perfect scores, while fine-tuning flare timing for consistent touchdown points near the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point.
