Fly the approach smoothly
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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach that landed joined below the 1,000 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,592 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,592 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 542 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 0.06 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll, covering 1,222 m which represents 49 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 151 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
Climb began over Donderen in the province of Drenthe, with the aircraft ascending from 1,003 ft asl to 2,512 ft asl, a gain of 1,510 ft achieved in 3 minutes while traversing 6 nm.
Descent was initiated over Een, also in Drenthe, descending from 2,540 ft asl to 1,693 ft asl, a loss of 847 ft completed in 2 minutes over a distance of 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG was flown from the south-west on a heading of 52.0° at 4 nm and 1,673 ft agl. Weather at the time was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Landing was executed on runway 05, whose total length is 2,493 m. The threshold height of 58 ft agl was slightly above the target and the threshold speed was 125 kt. Touchdown occurred 144 m beyond the touchdown zone at 101 kt with a touchdown rate of minus 242 fpm, and the wheel track was offset 5.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 1,650 m, representing 66 % of the runway.
Rollout was described as very good in terms of alignment, and the aircraft came to a stop well within the available runway length.
In total the flight covered 26 nm, required 14 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed minus 1,953 kg of fuel.
The Just Flight F70 operated by the Netherlands Government approached runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west on a final approach heading 52.0° at 4 nm and 1,673 ft agl, with a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind, and achieved a final score of 92.2 %.
At the threshold the runway measured 2,493 m in length; the threshold height was 58 ft agl, which was slightly above target, and the threshold speed was set at 125 kt.
Touchdown occurred 144 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 101 kt; the vertical rate was fair at minus 242 fpm and the touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline. The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,650 m, representing 66 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the aim point to reduce the 144 m overshoot and bring the threshold height onto target, which will tighten the landing envelope. Maintaining the current rollout technique will preserve the strong alignment already demonstrated.
