Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 90 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 97 kt, 7 kt above the 90 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 90 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 6.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.

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 328 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
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 102 kt in 1,070 meters, which represented 43% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated efficient maneuvering, completing the pattern entry and crosswind turns in under 1 nm and 18 seconds, respectively. The subsequent downwind turn was executed at an angle of 82.3° to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm in 57 seconds. The base leg turn was then completed at an angle of 39.9°, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, descending to 434 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 227.0°.
The aircraft landed smoothly on runway 23, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters and a speed of 86 kt, indicating a good threshold speed of 98 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -72 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the favorable weather conditions, which contributed to a successful and efficient flight.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, aligning with the heading of 227.0° at 1 nautical mile and 434 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent, with a good approach quality that set the stage for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a precise touchdown at the designated point.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it achieved a threshold speed of 98 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 331 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 86 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out smoothly, maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, contributed to a stable and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was executed to a high standard, with a score of 97.2% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
