Arrival
Stop raising the nose once the sink is arrested at 0.1 ft, holding that pitch steady through touchdown rather than further.
What happened: The nose came up 4.3° in the flare, leaving pitch well above this type's ground attitude at touchdown. Carrying that much pitch through touchdown usually carries a bounce after it.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold pitch at the normal ground attitude through touchdown.
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 1.5° off, against a 1° 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 325 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 76 kt in a distance of 400 m, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 24 seconds. The subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were executed with precision, with the downwind turn requiring a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 89.2° to the runway. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to 336 ft agl at a heading of 231.0°. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 58 kt and a touchdown rate of -183 fpm, both of which were within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 510 m, which accounted for 20% of the runway length, was also satisfactory.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was further highlighted by its ability to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment. The total flight distance of 7 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 37 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled landing on runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 231.0° at 1 nm and 336 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was a little below the target at 67 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 58 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 327 m was also good, and the touchdown rate of -183 fpm was well within the desired parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's centreline alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment, making the landing even more impressive. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further reducing the challenges faced by the pilot.
The total landing distance of 510 m was 20% of the runway length, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled deceleration throughout the landing. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.0%, reflecting the high level of skill and precision displayed by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
