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 6.1° off, against a 1° limit and wings 17° 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 391 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. The take-off roll measured 390 m, which is 16 % of the available runway, and the aircraft became airborne at a liftoff speed of 61 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 12 °C, wind 1 kt from 169 °, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
During the left-hand pattern entry the aircraft turned onto runway 23 and covered less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg also remained under 1 nm, taking 23 seconds. On the downwind turn the aircraft described a 110.7 ° angle to the runway over a distance of 1 nm, then proceeded on the downwind leg for 2 nm in 68 seconds. The base-leg turn was executed at a 34.3 ° angle to the runway over 1 nm, followed by a base-leg segment of less than 1 nm completed in 34 seconds. The final turn covered less than 1 nm in 12 seconds, after which the aircraft established the final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 ° at 1 nm and 387 ft AGL.
The aircraft landed on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, whose length is 2 ,493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 60 kt, and touchdown occurred 394 m down the runway at a speed of 42 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 78 fpm, and runway alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 20 °C, wind 3 kt from 226 °, providing a head-wind component of 3 kt and no cross-wind.
The total landing distance was 629 m, representing 25 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, taking 5, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 229.0° at 1 nm and 387 ft agl. Local conditions were 20 °C with a wind from 226° at 3 kt, providing a 3 kt head-wind component and zero cross-wind.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and a good threshold speed of 60 kt, indicating an appropriate flare set-up for the landing.
Touchdown occurred 394 m down the runway at a speed of 42 kt, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 78 fpm and perfect runway-centerline alignment.
The rollout covered a total distance of 629 m, representing 25 % of the 2 493 m runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.
With a final score of 95.3 %, the landing was strong; focus on maintaining the aim-point consistency to keep touchdown distance tightly centred around the optimal zone and verify that flare timing continues to produce the observed low vertical rate.
