Track the centreline
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: 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.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 10.5° off, against a 1° 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 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 227 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Lancair Legacy taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the departure roll. The takeoff run measured 877 m, representing 47 % of the available runway, and the aircraft lifted off at 125 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb began one mile north-west of Croy, Highland, Scotland, with the aircraft ascending from 714 ft asl to 3,035 ft asl. The altitude gain of 2,321 ft was achieved in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
Descent was initiated two miles north of Balloch, Highland, Scotland, where the aircraft descended from 3,047 ft asl to 1,170 ft asl. This loss of 1,877 ft occurred over 2 minutes and a distance of 5 nm.
A subsequent climb started overhead Balloch, Highland, Scotland, with the aircraft climbing from 1,120 ft asl to 121 ft asl, an increase of 1,000 ft recorded over 3 minutes while covering 7 nm.
During the final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, the aircraft descended from 365 ft agl to 14 ft agl in 25 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 23 was executed on a runway length of 1,866 m. The threshold speed was slightly below target at 86 kt, and touchdown occurred 226 m down the runway at 79 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 140 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Weather remained 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.
The rollout distance totaled 516 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 16 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
The Lancair Legacy completed the final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, descending from 365 ft agl to 14 ft agl in 25 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was a little below target at 86 kt and the threshold height was good.
Touchdown occurred 226 m down the runway at a speed of 79 kt, with a smooth rate of minus 140 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 516 m, representing 28 % of the 1,866 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect; local weather was 16 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 2 kt.
With a score of 94.7 % the landing was strong overall; fine-tuning the approach speed to meet the target will eliminate the slight undershoot and further tighten the performance envelope.
