Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 89 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 107 kt, 18 kt above the 89 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 89 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 7.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 23° 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 330 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 689 m, which represented 28 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 113 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 273°, resulting in zero cross-wind and zero head-wind components.
During the approach the flight entered a left-hand pattern on runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 27 seconds for the entry and less than 1 nm in 13 seconds for the cross-wind segment. The downwind turn spanned 2 nm with a 79.6° angle to the runway, followed by a 2 nm downwind leg completed in 42 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm with a 10.9° angle to the runway. The final approach was flown from the north-east on a heading of 223.0° at 1 nm and 291 ft AGL, maintaining the same weather conditions as noted for departure.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 108 kt, and touchdown occurred 335 m down the runway at 94 kt with a vertical speed of minus 77 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was perfect, and the runway environment matched the departure weather (16 °C, wind 1 kt from 273°, zero cross- and head-wind).
In total the flight covered 7 nm, required 4 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The aircraft made final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, on a heading of 223.0° at 1 nm and 291 ft AGL. Local weather was temperature 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 273°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 0 kt.
The threshold height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 108 kt, which was described as good.
Touchdown occurred 335 m down the runway at a speed of 94 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 77 fpm, which was rated excellent, and runway alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 93.7 % the landing was solid; concentrate on keeping the touchdown point consistently near the 300-m aim point and fine-tune flare height to preserve the excellent vertical rate. Maintaining the current speed and alignment will sustain the high performance.
