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 2.3° 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 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run required 421 m, representing 17 % of the available runway, and liftoff was achieved at 67 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
After liftoff the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 27 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand cross-wind leg also remained under 1 nm and was completed in 24 seconds.
The downwind turn was flown at a distance of 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 101.3° measured on a 45° reference.
The downwind leg extended 1 nm and was flown in 71 seconds.
The base-leg turn was executed over a distance of 1 nm, the angle to the runway on a 45° reference being 24.7°.
During final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 353 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 46 seconds and met the stabilisation gates.
Landing was performed on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 68 kt. Touchdown occurred 355 m down the runway at 53 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 125 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather conditions remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 525 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde descended from 353 ft agl to 63 ft agl in 46 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 68 kt.
Touchdown occurred 355 m down the runway at 53 kt with a smooth rate of -125 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 525 m, representing 21 % of the 2 490 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Fine-tune speed control to achieve the exact target threshold speed while maintaining the current excellent alignment and distance management.
