Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 5.2° 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.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond 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 113 kt in 842 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's 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.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated efficient maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed smoothly, taking 18 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated a downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft aligned itself with the runway, preparing for the final approach. The approach was executed from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to 689 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway.
The aircraft landed on runway 23, touching down 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 81 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -72 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. The total landing distance was 994 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out perfectly, aligning itself with the runway. The total flight distance was 9 nm, and the aircraft used 3 kg less fuel than expected, completing the flight in 5 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 223.0° at 1 nautical mile and 689 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 95 knots. This slight reduction in speed was likely a result of the favorable wind conditions, with a 1-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 81 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 994 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the favorable wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
