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 1.2° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
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 288 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna Skyhawk taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 602 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and lifted off at 54 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 22 seconds.
Continuing the left-hand pattern, the crosswind leg was flown for less than 1 nm in 20 seconds.
During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway of 113.6°.
The downwind leg was flown for a distance of 1 nm and required 58 seconds to complete.
The base turn was executed over a 1 nm segment, the angle to the runway being 55.5°.
The base leg was flown for less than 1 nm in 26 seconds.
The final turn to align with the runway covered less than 1 nm in 25 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23, the aircraft descended from 327 ft AGL to 50 ft AGL in 42 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose total length is 2,490 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 60 kt. The aircraft touched down after 288 m, at a speed of 44 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 22 fpm, and maintained perfect runway alignment. Weather conditions remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
Rollout distance measured 432 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 5 nm, taking 4, and consumed 1 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 %.
