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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, glideslope 6.6° against the runway's 3°, centreline 22.2° off, against a 1° limit and wings 27° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,547 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,547 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,425 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the ICP Savannah S I-C019 began its takeoff roll on runway 23. The aircraft accelerated down the 2,493-meter runway, covering 1,999 meters, or 80% of the available distance, before lifting off at a speed of 33 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 527 feet above sea level to 161 feet above sea level in a matter of seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was characterized by a rapid increase in altitude, with a vertical rise of 365 feet in under 1 minute. The aircraft then began its descent for the final approach to runway 05 at Groningen Airport Eelde, aligning itself with the runway from a heading of 30.0 degrees at an altitude of 123 feet above ground level.
The ICP Savannah S I-C019 touched down on runway 05, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 34 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -20 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed no fuel during the flight, which lasted approximately 2 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft ICP Savannah S I-C019 aligning with the runway at a heading of 30.0° at 0 nm and 123 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 76 kt, indicating a potential for a longer rollout.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it used more than 50% of the available 2,493 m length, resulting in a long touchdown point. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 34 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -20 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 73.7%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessive threshold speed, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases. The rollout was likely affected by the long touchdown point, but the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
