Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 106 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 84 kt, 22 kt before the 106 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 106 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 87 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 117 kt, well above the 87 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 87 kt on short final.
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 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, centreline 5.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 22° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.4° 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 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Legacy Analog GTN750XI Turbo Steering taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 91 kt and became airborne after a take-off run of 1,565 m, which represented 63 % of the available runway; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.
A right-hand pattern entry was executed from runway 23, the aircraft traveling less than 1 nm in 88 seconds before joining the circuit.
The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg covered less than 1 nm in 7 seconds, maintaining alignment with the runway centreline.
The downwind turn spanned 3 nm and was conducted at an angle of 45 degrees, measured at 7.6 ° relative to the runway heading.
The downwind leg itself was less than 1 nm long and was completed in 16 seconds.
For the final approach to runway 05, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 40.0 °, positioned 2 nm out and 1,129 ft above ground level.
Landing on runway 05 was achieved with a threshold speed slightly above target at 117 kt; touchdown occurred 410 m down the runway at 101 kt with a smooth descent rate of minus 126 fpm and perfect alignment, while local conditions were 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 230°, zero crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,297 m, representing 52 % of the runway length, and the aircraft maintained very good alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
In total, the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 6 minutes, and consumed 13 kg of fuel.
The Legacy Analog GTN750XI Turbo Steering approached runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west on a heading of 40.0° at 2 nm and 1,129 ft AGL. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, with sink rate too high and the aircraft off the centreline.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed slightly above target, recorded at 117 kt.
Touchdown occurred 410 m down the runway at a speed of 101 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 126 fpm and perfect runway alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,297 m, representing 52 % of the 2,488 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To improve the already high score, focus on achieving a stabilized approach by moderating sink rate and maintaining centreline tracking, and aim to bring the threshold speed closer to the target value.
