Track the centreline
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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° 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 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Phenom 300E took to the skies from runway 23, accelerating down the 2,493-meter-long strip to a liftoff speed of 125 kt. The aircraft cleared the threshold in 706 meters, utilizing just 28% of the available runway. As it lifted off, the Phenom 300E was subjected to a negligible headwind of 1 kt, with a slight crosswind component of the same magnitude.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it rapidly ascended from 995 ft above sea level to 1,257 ft, a gain of 262 ft in less than 1 minute and covering a mere 1 nm. This impressive climb rate allowed the Phenom 300E to quickly reach its enroute level cruise altitude, where it maintained a steady speed for 5 minutes while covering 15 nm. The aircraft's efficient performance was evident in its ability to conserve fuel, ultimately using 649 kg of fuel for the entire flight.
As the Phenom 300E began its final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde, it aligned itself with the threshold from the north-east, descending from 533 ft above ground level to touch down on the 2,493-meter-long runway. The aircraft's touchdown speed of 87 kt was well within the acceptable range, and its touchdown rate of -80 fpm was exemplary. The Phenom 300E's precise control and stable flight characteristics allowed it to execute a smooth landing, bringing the aircraft to a stop in just 424 meters. The total flight distance of 17 nm was completed in 7 minutes, a testament to the aircraft's efficiency and the pilot's skill.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde commenced from the north east, with the aircraft established on a heading of 228.0° at 1 nautical mile and 533 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 99 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 424 meters, which was considered good, and at a speed of 87 kt, also within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -80 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component of 1 kt each. These conditions contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The overall performance of the landing was outstanding, with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a good threshold height, speed, and touchdown distance, combined with its excellent touchdown rate and perfect runway alignment, resulted in a highly satisfactory landing. The crew's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and expertise.
