Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 70 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 80 kt, 10 kt above the 70 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 70 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 2.6° 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 283 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 79 kt in a distance of 388 meters, which represented 16% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with precision, taking 17 seconds to complete the maneuver. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 98.0 ° to the runway. The downwind leg itself lasted for 68 seconds, during which the aircraft maintained a steady course. The base leg turn was completed in 1 nm, with the aircraft aligning itself for the final approach at an angle of 15.0 ° to the runway.
The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to 235 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 231.0 °. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 61 kt and a distance of 287 meters, which represented 20% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -64 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 501 meters, and the total flight distance was 8 nm, which was completed in 5 minutes, with no fuel being consumed.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 231.0° at 1 nm and 235 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a slight deviation in threshold speed, registering at 81 kt, which was marginally above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 61 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were noteworthy, with a touchdown distance of 287 m, well within the expected parameters. The touchdown rate of -64 fpm was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 269°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 501 m, accounting for only 20% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was scored 100.0%, reflecting a flawless execution of the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
