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 4.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 15° 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 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 110 kt in a distance of 904 meters, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from a direction of 230 °. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a left-hand pattern entry, navigating the turn in a distance of less than 1 nm in 27 seconds.
The aircraft continued to follow the standard traffic pattern, executing a left-hand pattern crosswind turn in a distance of less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn was completed in a distance of 1 nm, with an angle to the runway of 82.3 °. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm, taking 53 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was executed in a distance of 2 nm, with an angle to the runway of 50.1 °. The base leg was then completed in a distance of less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The final turn was accomplished in a distance of less than 1 nm in 32 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 84 kt, with a touchdown rate of -73 fpm, which was considered excellent. The touchdown point was 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,219 meters, accounting for 49% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, consuming a total of 8 nm of distance and 4 minutes of time, while using -1 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 231.0° at 0 nm and 352 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 95 kt. This slight reduction in speed was likely a result of the 3 kt headwind, which was blowing directly into the aircraft.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it did so at a speed of 84 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 47 m beyond the touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -73 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 230°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,219 m, which represented 49% of the runway length. This was a respectable performance, given the slight headwind and the aircraft's mass. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of an extremely high standard, with a score of 99.7% reflecting the pilot's exceptional skill and control.
