Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 65 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 53 kt against a target of 65 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 65 kt down to 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: sink rate 1,184 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
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 268 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk taxied to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 567 m, representing 23 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 64 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 272°, no cross-wind component and no head-wind component.
A right-hand pattern entry was executed from runway 05, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 23 seconds.
The aircraft then proceeded to the right-hand pattern crosswind leg, again traveling less than 1 nm and completing the segment in 28 seconds.
During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 80.0°.
The downwind leg was flown for less than 1 nm, taking 29 seconds to complete.
A right-hand base-leg turn followed, covering 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 76.5°.
The base leg itself was less than 1 nm in length and was completed in 22 seconds.
The final turn to align with the runway was executed over a distance of less than 1 nm in 26 seconds.
On final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, the aircraft maintained a heading of 52.0° at 0 nm and an altitude of 49 ft AGL.
Landing was achieved on runway 05, whose total length is 2,493 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 53 kt. Touchdown occurred 271 m down the runway at 42 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 104 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset by 3.5 m from the centreline. Local weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 273°, no cross-wind and no head-wind. The total landing distance measured 465 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered 7 nm, taking 5, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the south-west on a heading of 52.0° at 0 nm and 49 ft agl.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 53 kt.
Touchdown occurred 271 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 42 kt also judged good. The vertical rate was smooth at minus 104 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline. Total landing distance was 465 m, representing 19 % of the 2 493 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the already excellent performance, aim to achieve the published threshold speed rather than the slightly low 53 kt, and refine the final alignment to reduce the 3.5 m offset from the centreline.
