Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 66 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 73 kt, 7 kt above the 66 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 66 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the GA-8 Airvan Cargo aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 83 kt in 596 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 84 seconds. Subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were executed with equal efficiency, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled flight path. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft descending at a heading of 57.0° and an altitude of 571 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 kt and a touchdown distance of 482 meters, which was 28% of the runway's length.
The landing was characterized by an excellent touchdown rate of -52 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 697 meters, and the aircraft used 6 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 5 nm and took approximately 5 minutes to complete. Overall, the flight was marked by precise and controlled flight maneuvers, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's expertise.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 57.0° at 1 nm and 571 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 74 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 52 kt and a distance of 482 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -52 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the centreline, showcasing excellent pilot skill and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further facilitating a precise touchdown. The total landing distance of 697 m, which accounted for only 28% of the runway length, was a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's expertise.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase ensured a safe and efficient exit from the runway. Overall, the landing was scored at 96.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot.
