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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 10.1° 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 279 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Phenom 300E departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, employing a take-off run of 748 m which represented 40 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 134 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
During the climb the aircraft left the vicinity of EGPE Inverness Airport and rose from 1,011 ft asl to 1,614 ft asl, gaining 603 ft in 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
Level cruise commenced over Balloch, lasting 4 minutes and encompassing a distance of 10 nm.
The descent phase reduced altitude from 1,072 ft agl to 35 ft agl in 72 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport the crew scored on the stabilisation gates, maintaining the same temperature of 15 °C and wind of 2 kt from 270° with a 1 kt cross-wind and 2 kt head-wind.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose total length is 1,866 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed recorded was 109 kt. The aircraft touched down after 280 m, at a speed of 102 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 134 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing distance measured 624 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 16 nm, took 6 (units as provided), and consumed 28 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted with a descent from 1,072 ft agl to 35 ft agl over 72 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was good at 109 kt.
Touchdown occurred 280 m down the runway at a speed of 102 kt, noted as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 134 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment; the total landing distance was 624 m, representing 33 % of the 1,866 m runway.
The rollout phase showed perfect runway-rollout alignment.
With a score of 94.0 % the landing was strong; fine-tuning the flare to reduce touchdown speed slightly will bring the speed closer to the target without affecting the already excellent alignment and rate.
