Arrival
Use aileron to level the wings and hold the upwind wing low only enough to track the centreline before touchdown.
What happened: At touchdown the wings were not level, with an average bank angle of 2.2°.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator and keep wings level 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: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 17° 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 323 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Groningen Airport Eelde, EHGG, served as the departure point for this flight, with Gabriel White and Green taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a journey that took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 62 knots within a takeoff distance of 276 meters, which represented 11% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the pattern entry in 24 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The subsequent crosswind leg was executed efficiently, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 18 seconds. The downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was completed in 1 nautical mile, while the downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles and took 60 seconds to complete. The base leg turn, with an angle to the runway of 34.5 degrees, was also executed smoothly, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 98 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 47 knots and a distance of 325 meters, representing a touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the threshold height was good, with a threshold speed of 64 knots. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed approximately 1 kilogram of fuel. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft Gabriel White and Green maintaining a heading of 230.0° at 0 nm and 98 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height allowing the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also well-managed, reaching 64 kt as the aircraft touched down on the runway.
The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with a distance of 325 m and a speed of 47 kt. The touchdown rate of -53 fpm was outstanding, demonstrating exceptional control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment and coming to a stop in a controlled and efficient manner. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of precision and control, with a final score of 99.9%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown characteristics, and excellent rollout performance made this landing a standout example of professional aviation skills.
