Hold the approach angle
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,628 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,628 m of the 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The 0.05 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll. The take-off distance recorded was 1,398 m, representing 56 % of the available runway, and liftoff was achieved at 157 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 224°, giving a head-wind component of 3 kt and no cross-wind.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Donderen in the province of Drenthe, ascending from 978 ft asl to 1,462 ft asl. The altitude gain of 484 ft was completed in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise began approximately 1 nm north of Norg, also in Drenthe, and was maintained for 2 minutes during which the aircraft travelled 8 nm.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG was executed from the south-west, with a heading of 46.0° at 3 nm and an altitude of 1,611 ft agl. Weather remained unchanged with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt from 224°, providing a tail-wind component of 3 kt and no cross-wind.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 99 kt and a vertical speed of 952 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.7 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 933 m, equivalent to 37 % of the runway length, and the subsequent rollout maintained very good alignment.
In total the flight covered 17 nm, required 6 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 1,903 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the south-west on a heading of 46.0° at 3 nm and 1,611 ft agl. Ambient temperature was 20 °C with wind 3 kt from 224°, a crosswind component of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt.
The aircraft completed the flare and touched down before the runway threshold.
Touchdown occurred at 99 kt with a perfect vertical rate of 952 fpm, while the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 933 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
With a score of 97.8 % the landing was strong; refining the touchdown point to the threshold and tightening centreline alignment will further improve precision.
