Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 106 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 125 kt, 19 kt past the 106 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 106 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Level off and trim for level flight earlier after the turn, holding the standard circuit altitude on downwind.
What happened: You flew the downwind leg at 1,405 ft agl, above the correct circuit height for this pattern.
Watch for: Altimeter: the normal circuit height on downwind.
See Pattern Downwind
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: wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.

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 375 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 127 kt in a distance of 905 m, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible 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 swift and precise turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 11 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it maintained a steady heading and altitude, covering a distance of 2 nm in 36 seconds. The base leg turn and subsequent base leg were executed with precision, with distances of 2 nm and less than 1 nm, respectively. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nm in 28 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 with a touchdown speed of 73 kt, achieving a touchdown distance of 379 m, which was 24% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -72 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 599 m, and the aircraft used 4 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 8 nm and took approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, demonstrating exceptional control and precision. The final approach from the north east, heading 231.0°, was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude of 337 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The approach quality was outstanding, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 93 kt, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it exhibited excellent touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 73 kt and a touchdown rate of -72 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The touchdown distance of 379 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 599 meters, which accounted for only 24% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, earning a score of 100.0%.
