Arrival
Time the turn onto base by bank angle so you roll out at the proper 45 degree angle to the runway, not sooner or later.
What happened: The turn from downwind onto base was rolled out at the wrong angle to the runway rather than the intended 45 degree join.
Watch for: Watch your angle to the runway through the base turn, aiming to roll out at 45 degrees.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
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 409 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TL3000 Sirius taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 355 m, representing 14 % of the available runway, and achieved liftoff at 63 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 2 kt.
After rotation, the aircraft lifted off at the recorded speed of 63 kt and entered the left-hand pattern entry for runway 23. The entry leg covered 1 nm in 21 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was less than 1 nm in length and required 26 seconds to complete.
The aircraft then executed the pattern downwind turn, covering 1 nm while turning to an angle of 71.0° relative to the runway heading.
During the downwind leg, the aircraft flew 2 nm in 68 seconds before commencing the base turn.
The base turn spanned 1 nm and aligned the aircraft to an angle of 66.2° to the runway.
The base leg that followed was less than 1 nm and was completed in 56 seconds.
The final turn into the approach was less than 1 nm and took 27 seconds to position the aircraft for landing.
Landing was performed on runway 23, which is 2,490 m long. The threshold speed was 53 kt, touchdown occurred 409 m down the runway at 38 kt, and the descent rate at touchdown was minus 51 fpm. The total landing distance measured 524 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway length, and runway rollout alignment was recorded as perfect. Weather at the time of landing was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 6 (units as provided), and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield was conducted with a descent from 454 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 45 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 20 °C with wind 2 kt from 083°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 kt.
Touchdown occurred 281 m down the runway at a speed of 61 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 57 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.3 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 710 m, representing 55 % of the 1 293 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Fine-tune the approach speed to meet the target value and make small adjustments to maintain centreline alignment within a tighter tolerance; the overall performance was strong with a score of 87.2 %.
