Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 72 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 81 kt, 9 kt above the 72 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 72 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

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.
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 321 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the takeoff roll, covering a takeoff distance of 407 m which represents 16 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 80 kt under calm conditions with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, completing the entry segment of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds.
A left-hand pattern crosswind leg followed, also less than 1 nm in length and completed in 16 seconds.
During the downwind turn the aircraft covered 1 nm while turning 96.7° to the runway heading.
The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was flown in 46 seconds.
The base-leg turn was executed over 1 nm with a turn angle of 48.5°.
The base leg itself was less than 1 nm and required 23 seconds to complete.
The final turn to the approach course was less than 1 nm and took another 23 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, the aircraft was established at a heading of 232.0° at 1 nm and 201 ft AGL, maintaining the same ambient temperature and wind conditions as earlier.
Landing was performed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 81 kt, touchdown occurred 323 m down the runway at 62 kt, and the descent rate at touchdown was minus 42 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was reported as perfect, and the total landing distance measured 601 m, representing 24 % of the runway.
The rollout continued without deviation, maintaining perfect alignment until the aircraft came to a stop.
In total, the flight covered 7 nm, took 5 (units as given), and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 232.0° at one nautical mile and 201 ft above ground level. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind component.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and the indicated threshold speed was slightly above target at 81 kt.
Touchdown occurred 323 m down the runway at a speed of 62 kt, which was good, with a vertical rate of minus 42 fpm that was perfect, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance measured 601 m, representing 24 % of the 2,493 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.8 % the landing was essentially flawless; refining speed control to bring the threshold speed onto target will further tighten performance.
