Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 89 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 108 kt, 19 kt above the 89 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 89 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 7.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 23° 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 329 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde on runway 23, initiating the take-off roll. The take-off distance recorded was 689 m, representing 28 % of the available runway, and liftoff was achieved at 112 kt. Ambient conditions were 12 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, resulting in a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
During the approach phase the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern on runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 25 seconds for the entry segment and less than 1 nm in 16 seconds on the subsequent left-hand crosswind leg. The downwind turn spanned 2 nm with an angle to the runway of 85.7°, followed by a 2 nm downwind leg completed in 48 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 8.7°. The final approach was flown from the north-east on a heading of 224.0°, intercepting the final approach fix at 1 nm and 473 ft AGL.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was 108 kt, and touchdown occurred 331 m down the runway at 95 kt with a vertical speed of minus 93 fpm. Runway alignment at touchdown was reported as perfect, and the local weather remained 12 °C with a 1 kt wind from 169°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
In total the flight covered 7 nm, required 4 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The Legacy Analog GTN750XI Turbo Steering made its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 224.0° at 1 NM and 473 ft AGL. Local weather was 12 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.
At the threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 108 kt, indicating an appropriate energy state for the flare.
Touchdown occurred at a distance of 331 m, which was judged good, with a touchdown speed of 95 kt rated good and a touchdown rate of minus 93 fpm described as excellent. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 94.2% the landing was strong; concentrate on keeping the touchdown point consistently near the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point to tighten distance variance. Fine-tuning flare timing will help preserve the excellent vertical rate while maintaining optimal touchdown placement.
