Next time
Pick a point on the horizon aligned with heading and use small rudder or aileron inputs to track straight.
What happened: During the second climb segment, heading drifted well off the assigned track.
Watch for: Heading indicator against assigned climb heading
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 129 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 67 kt against a target of 129 kt, below reference speed.
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 282 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft commenced the departure roll on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, using 1,101 m of runway (44 % of the available length) before lifting off at 90 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 12 °C with wind from 169° at 2 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
After take-off the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 18 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern cross-wind leg was completed in less than 1 nm during a 10-second interval.
During the pattern downwind turn the aircraft flew 1 nm while turning to an angle of 73.9° relative to the runway heading.
The downwind leg itself measured 1 nm and was flown in 47 seconds.
The base-leg turn covered 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 72.7°.
The base leg was less than 1 nm in length and was completed in 31 seconds.
The final turn to the approach course was less than 1 nm and required 19 seconds.
The final approach to runway 23 was established from the north-east, on a heading of 231.0°, at 0 nm distance and 96 ft above ground level.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m; the threshold speed was 67 kt. Touchdown occurred 283 m down the runway at 50 kt with a vertical speed of minus 49 fpm, and the aircraft aligned perfectly with the runway centreline. Weather at the time remained temperature 12 °C, wind 2 kt from 169°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 1 kt.
The aircraft rolled out on runway 23 and came to a stop after the landing roll.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, required 4 minutes of flight time and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° with the aircraft at 0 nm and 96 ft agl. Local weather was 12 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 169°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and the indicated threshold speed was 67 kt. The flare was executed in line with the approach parameters.
Touchdown occurred 283 m down the runway at a speed of 50 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was a perfect -49 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.6 % the landing was essentially flawless; focus on maintaining the already excellent flare timing and continue to verify touchdown distance remains consistently near the 300 m aim point.
