Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 69 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 95 kt against a target of 69 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 69 kt at the threshold.
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, sink rate 1,271 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 19.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 40° 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.
Touched down 785 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114, registration N1107L, taxied to runway 05 and commenced its departure roll at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. The aircraft achieved lift-off after a takeoff run of 2,211 m, representing 89 % of the available runway, and left the ground at 76 kt. Ambient conditions were 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, resulting in a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind component.
Climb began over Yde in the province of Drenthe, The Netherlands. During the climb the aircraft rose from 299 ft asl to 278 ft asl, an increase of 21 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering a distance of 1 nm.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG was executed from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 217.0° at 0 nm and an altitude of 263 ft agl. Weather remained unchanged with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind of 1 kt from 169°, giving a cross-wind of 1 kt and zero head-wind.
Landing was performed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was 95 kt; touchdown occurred 352 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 65 kt and a vertical speed of minus 4 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was described as perfect, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,224 m, equivalent to 49 % of the runway length.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, allowing the aircraft to decelerate safely along the remaining runway.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 3 nm, took 2 (units as provided), and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
Aircraft Black Square Commander 114 N1107L achieved a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 217.0° at 0 nm and 263 ft agl. The approach was conducted in temperature 11 °C with wind 1 kt from 169°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The threshold speed was set at 95 kt and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 352 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 65 kt. The vertical rate at touchdown was perfect at minus 4 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,224 m, representing 49 % of the 2,493 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the score, aim to achieve touchdown within the touchdown zone by refining flare timing and height, which will reduce the overshoot distance. Maintaining the current alignment and speed control will preserve the strong performance already demonstrated.
