Next time
Add power on short final to hold 65 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 49 kt against a target of 65 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 65 kt down to the threshold.
Departure
Hold the nose until reaching 83 kt before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 54 kt, 29 kt before the 83 kt target.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: speed 11 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 65 kt.
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 41 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna 208B taxied to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft used 543 m of runway, representing 22 % of the available length, and lifted off at 54 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Cruise commenced overhead Yde in the province of Drenthe, The Netherlands. The level segment lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm before the descent began.
During the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG, the aircraft approached from the north-east on a heading of 232.0° at 1 nm and 138 ft AGL. Weather remained unchanged with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, and a cross-wind component of 1 kt, now acting as a head-wind.
The landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was 49 kt, well below the target. Touchdown occurred 43 m down the runway at 48 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 133 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing distance recorded was 356 m, equivalent to 14 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was measured as 17.4 m off the centreline, indicating a slight deviation during the final ground run.
In total, the flight covered 4 nm, took 4 minutes, and consumed 9 kg of fuel.
The Cessna 208B approached runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east on a heading of 232.0° at one nautical mile and 138 ft AGL, with temperature 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component; the final approach was recorded with a score of 93.0 % and the report notes a good threshold height.
At threshold the aircraft was at 49 kt, a speed described as well below target and the report cautions to take care not to stall; the flare proceeded from this speed and altitude without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 43 m from the runway threshold at a speed of 48 kt, both described as good, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 133 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance was 356 m, representing 14 % of the 2 493 m runway, and the rollout ended with the aircraft misaligned by 17.4 m from the centreline.
Maintain the target threshold speed to provide a safety margin above stall while preserving the low-speed advantage, and refine directional control during rollout to keep the aircraft within a tighter corridor of the centreline.
