Hold the approach angle
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,682 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,682 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 645 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 151 kt. The takeoff distance of 1,346 m, which accounted for 54% of the runway, was achieved with a minimal margin for error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, contributed to a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute phase, it began a climb from 968 ft above sea level to 2,273 ft, a vertical gain of 1,305 ft in just 1 minute. This rapid ascent was achieved while covering a distance of 3 nm, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive climb performance. Later, the aircraft initiated a descent from 2,293 ft to 1,159 ft, a decrease of 1,135 ft in 2 minutes, as it approached its destination. This controlled descent was executed over a distance of 5 nm, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's altitude.
The final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 231.0° at 3 nm and 1,128 ft above ground level. Touchdown occurred before the threshold, with a speed of 100 kt and a descent rate of 893 fpm, which was considered perfect. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 3.4 m from the centreline. The total landing distance of 915 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway, was achieved with a good runway rollout alignment. The flight, which covered a total distance of 13 nm, consumed 1,954 kg of fuel and lasted 6 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 231.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,128 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a slightly aggressive approach, but the touchdown speed of 100 knots was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a perfect touchdown rate of 893 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 227°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 915 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.5%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control.
