Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 70 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 81 kt, 11 kt above the 70 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 70 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 2.8° 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 319 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 73 kt within a distance of 339 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with equal precision, taking 16 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long, with the aircraft taking 55 seconds to cover this distance. Following the base leg turn, the pilot aligned the aircraft with the runway, setting up for a final approach from the north-east at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 217 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 60 kt and a distance of 323 meters, which was 23% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -53 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The pilot then brought the aircraft to a stop, using a total distance of 578 meters. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a distance of 7 nm in 5 minutes, and the aircraft consumed no fuel during this time.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 231.0° at 0 nm and 217 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a slight deviation in threshold speed, which was recorded at 82 kt, slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 60 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown distance of 323 m and a touchdown rate of -53 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further facilitating a smooth landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 578 m was 23% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient rollout. Overall, the landing was scored 99.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
