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: 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: glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3°, centreline 4.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 15° 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 409 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, runway 23, the Phenom 300E began its takeoff roll, accelerating down the 864-meter stretch of the 2,493-meter runway, which equated to 35% of the available length. At a liftoff speed of 138 knots, the aircraft lifted off the ground, clearing the obstacles surrounding the airport. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 970 feet above sea level to 2,067 feet, a vertical gain of 1,096 feet in just one minute, while covering a horizontal distance of 4 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate was achieved in a relatively short period, showcasing the Phenom 300E's capabilities. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 2,067 feet for 3 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
As the Phenom 300E began its final approach to runway 23, it descended from an altitude of 655 feet above ground level, heading towards the airport from the northeast. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 92 knots, with a touchdown distance of 409 meters, which was a mere 46% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -58 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 1,157 meters, and the aircraft used 764 kilograms of fuel for the entire 13-nautical-mile flight, which lasted 5 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 223.0° at 1 nm and 655 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 104 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 409 m, with a speed of 92 kt, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown characteristics were outstanding, with a touchdown rate of -58 fpm, 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 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 223°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was negligible, with a headwind of 3 kt, further enhancing the approach stability.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,157 m, accounting for 46% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance was exceptional, with a score of 98.1% reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot.
