Flight Score
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 16° 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 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Commander 114 departed EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from runway 23, applying a take-off roll of 470 m which represented 19 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 83 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270 ° at 2 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the approach the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23, covering 2 nm in 23 seconds to the entry point. The subsequent left-hand crosswind segment was less than 1 nm and lasted 15 seconds. A downwind turn of 2 nm was flown with a 48.3 ° angle to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 3 nm completed in 83 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 1 nm at a 53.5 ° angle to the runway, after which the base leg itself was less than 1 nm and took 28 seconds. The final turn to the runway was also less than 1 nm and required 25 seconds.
The final approach to runway 23 descended from 298 ft AGL to 32 ft AGL in 41 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose total length is 2 490 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 69 kt. The aircraft landed 247 m from the threshold at a speed of 57 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 83 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind from 269 ° at 2 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 415 m, representing 17 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded with perfect alignment along the runway centreline, confirming the accuracy of the landing geometry.
In total the flight covered 10 nm, required 5 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was conducted with a descent from 454 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 45 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 2 kt from 083°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 kt.
Touchdown occurred 281 m down the runway at a speed of 61 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 57 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.3 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 710 m, representing 55 % of the 1 293 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target value and make small adjustments to maintain centreline alignment within a tighter tolerance; the overall performance was strong with a score of 87.2 %.
