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 2.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 16° 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 242 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, executing a departure roll and achieving liftoff after a take-off run of 456 m, which represents 18 % of the available runway. The aircraft rotated at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
During the descent phase the aircraft reduced altitude from 387 ft AGL to 35 ft AGL in 46 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
The approach was conducted in a left-hand pattern to runway 23. Entry into the pattern covered 1 nm in 24 seconds, followed by a cross-wind segment of less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 2 nm with a 45° angle to the runway measured at 51.4°, and the downwind leg extended 3 nm in 83 seconds. The base-leg turn also covered 2 nm at a 45° angle, recorded as 57.7°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 37 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and lasted 26 seconds, after which the aircraft proceeded on final approach to runway 23.
Landing was completed on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, whose length is 2 490 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 kt. Touchdown occurred 242 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt with a vertical speed of minus 48 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. Weather at the time of landing remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt. The total landing distance measured 390 m, representing 16 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 10 nm, required approximately 6 minutes, and consumed 4 kg of fuel.
