Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 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 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 751 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 238 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 88 knots.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds.
The aircraft continued to follow the left-hand pattern, with a crosswind turn from runway 23 that covered less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 56.3 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered 3 nautical miles in 99 seconds.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its base leg turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles and maintaining an angle to the runway of 10.7 degrees. The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with a heading of 228.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 495 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the threshold height at 65 feet above ground level being above the target. The threshold speed was also good at 85 knots. However, the touchdown point was 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots and a perfect touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance covered 1,217 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway length.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, taking 8 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 90.6%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 228.0° at 1 nautical mile and 495 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold speed of 85 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 310 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 57 knots, which is also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.0 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing. The total landing distance of 1,217 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the braking or steering technique. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a score of 90.6%. However, there is room for improvement in terms of alignment and touchdown position.
