Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate, not after it.
What happened: On the approach, the gear was not down at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Gear position indicator against the stabilisation gate call.
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.
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 259 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.32 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, applying a take-off roll of 439 m which represented 18 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 80 kt under calm conditions with a temperature of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.
Climb commenced over Donderen in the province of Drenthe, Netherlands, with the flight ascending from 1,001 ft asl to 1,921 ft asl - a gain of 920 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
Cruise began over Norg, also in Drenthe, and was maintained for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 43 nm at level flight.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG was executed from the north-east on a heading of 229.0° at 4 nm distance and 1,353 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 23 at an altitude of 4 ft agl, prompting the aircraft to abort the approach and climb away.
A second go-around was performed on the same runway at the identical altitude of 4 ft agl before a subsequent approach was attempted.
Landing was completed on runway 23 at EHGG, whose length is 2,490 m and features a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 72 kt, touchdown occurred 228 m down the runway at 60 kt, and the descent rate at touchdown was minus 76 fpm. Alignment on touchdown and during rollout was reported as perfect, with local weather at the time showing a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, a 1 kt head-wind and a 1 kt cross-wind. Total landing distance was 477 m, representing 19 % of the runway.
Rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the precise runway alignment noted at touchdown.
In total, the flight covered 72 nm, required 28 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 17 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown by the Black Square Commander 114 2-DOOR with a score of 97.7 %. The aircraft was on a heading of 229.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,353 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C and wind 1 kt from 270 °. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because flaps were not set.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was slightly below target at 72 kt.
Touchdown occurred 228 m from the threshold, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 60 kt judged good. The vertical rate was excellent at minus 76 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 477 m, representing 19 % of the 2,490 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Ensure flaps are selected before the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilized approach, and verify that the threshold speed meets the published target to maintain optimal performance.
