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 4.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° 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 233 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114, registration N1107L, taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 515 m, representing 21 % of the available runway, at a liftoff speed of 83 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 273°, resulting in zero cross-wind and zero head-wind components.
During the approach, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 27 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg also measured under 1 nm and was completed in 23 seconds. A downwind turn of 1 nm was flown with a 45° sector angle of 82.3°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm that lasted 70 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 1 nm with a 45° sector angle of 36.1°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and took 24 seconds. The final turn was under 1 nm and required 19 seconds. The final approach was established from the north-east on a heading of 228.0°, at 1 nm distance and 171 ft AGL, aligning with runway 23.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 71 kt. Touchdown occurred 236 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 58 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather conditions remained unchanged at 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 273°, with no cross-wind or head-wind.
The flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 5 (units as reported), and consumed -64 kg of fuel.
The Black Square Commander 114 N1107L established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 228.0° at 1 NM and 171 ft AGL while the local temperature was 15 °C and wind was 1 kt from 273° with no cross- or head-wind component.
The aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 71 kt.
Touchdown occurred 236 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt, with a touchdown rate of -58 fpm and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
Maintain the precise target threshold speed to eliminate the slight undershoot observed, and continue the current control of touchdown point and rate to preserve the high overall score of 96.9 %.
