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: sink rate 1,250 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, 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 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Phenom 300E took to the skies from runway 23, accelerating down the 856-meter stretch to a liftoff speed of 136 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. As the aircraft cleared the airport's boundaries, it initiated its enroute climb, ascending from 968 feet above sea level to 2,049 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The climb phase was followed by a controlled descent, initiated 1 mile southwest of Noordlaren, as the aircraft descended from 2,107 feet to 684 feet in a similar 2-minute timeframe, covering 4 nautical miles. This smooth transition set the stage for the final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde. The Phenom 300E approached the runway from the northeast, aligning itself with the threshold at an altitude of 658 feet above ground level and a heading of 223.0 degrees. The landing was executed flawlessly, with a touchdown speed of 92 knots and a touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute, resulting in a touchdown distance of 412 meters, or 47% of the runway length.
The Phenom 300E's performance was further highlighted by its ability to maintain perfect runway alignment during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,165 meters was well within the acceptable limits, and the aircraft's fuel consumption was recorded at -773 kilograms, indicating a relatively efficient flight. The total flight distance of 14 nautical miles was covered in 6 minutes, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Phenom 300E's capabilities in terms of climb, descent, and landing performance, as well as its fuel efficiency and maneuverability.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft established on the localizer at 1 nm and 658 ft above ground level, heading 223.0°. 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 speed of 92 kt, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown distance of 412 m and a touchdown rate of -99 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further reducing the complexity of the approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment as it decelerated to a stop. The total landing distance of 1,165 m, which accounted for 47% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, earning a score of 98.5%. The pilot's skill and experience were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
