Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 56 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 81 kt, 25 kt past the 56 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 56 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 63 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 69 kt, 6 kt above the 63 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 63 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 1,056 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and centreline 10.9° off, against a 1° limit.

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.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft, flown by Gabriel White and Grey, began its takeoff roll on runway 23. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, reaching a liftoff speed of 82 kt in a distance of 1,059 m, which accounted for 43% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady heading and altitude, completing the first leg of the pattern in 16 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nm. The subsequent crosswind leg was executed with precision, requiring less than 1 nm in 22 seconds to complete. With the aircraft now aligned with the final approach course, it began its descent from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 34.0° at an altitude of 492 ft above ground level. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, setting the aircraft up for a smooth touchdown on runway 05.
The landing was executed to a high standard, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 kt and a distance of 327 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was an impressive -63 fpm, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 m from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was commendable. The total flight distance of 4 nm was completed in 2 minutes, and the aircraft used a relatively modest 1 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 Gabriel White and Grey maintaining a heading of 34.0° at 1 nm and 492 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. The threshold speed of 69 kt was maintained, indicating a well-controlled descent. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 327 m, and the touchdown speed of 54 kt was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were excellent, with a touchdown rate of -63 fpm, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
The overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was satisfactory, with a score of 89.5%. The landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, and the pilot demonstrated good decision-making skills in terms of approach speed and touchdown point. However, the slight deviation from the centreline may indicate a need for further practice and refinement in terms of approach path management.
