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 1.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° 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 310 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 consumed 390 m, representing 16 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 61 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
During the left-hand pattern entry the aircraft covered 1 nm in 23 seconds, followed by a left-hand cross-wind segment of less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The down-wind turn spanned 1 nm with a 71.0° angle to the runway, and the down-wind leg extended 2 nm in 69 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm at a 60.5° angle, the base leg was less than 1 nm in 30 seconds, and the final turn was less than 1 nm in 28 seconds. On final approach the aircraft descended from 341 ft AGL to 45 ft AGL in 37 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
The landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,490 m. Threshold speed was recorded at 63 kt, touchdown occurred 310 m down the runway at 43 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 68 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect, and the same weather conditions applied: 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, cross-wind 1 kt, head-wind 2 kt. Total landing distance measured 419 m, representing 17 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with perfect alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
Overall, the flight covered a distance of 8 nm, taking 5, and consumed 45 kg of fuel.
