Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 135 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 10 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 261 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 135 kt at the threshold
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 23 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 135 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 15 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 135 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 379 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from EGPE Inverness Airport, where it began its journey with a departure roll from runway 23. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 157 kt, covering 1,072 m of the 1,800 m runway in the process. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 6 °C and a headwind of 16 kt, which contributed to a smooth takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, reaching an altitude of 9,006 ft asl. The enroute climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to its maximum cruising altitude of 34,653 ft asl, covering a distance of 177 nm in the process. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 34,360 ft asl to 15,010 ft asl, before entering a series of level cruises and further descents. The final approach to runway 36 at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola, was made from the south, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 130 kt and a touchdown distance of 414 m.
The landing was deemed good, with a threshold height and speed that met the required standards. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -389 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,554 m, covering 62% of the 2,494 m runway. The flight ultimately covered a total distance of 365 nm, using 2,966 kg of fuel in the process, and took a total of 57 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 36 at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola from the south, heading 359.0° at 4 nm and 1,367 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a threshold height that was well within the acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 132 kt was also satisfactory, indicating a well-coordinated and controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 130 kt was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -389 fpm. However, the touchdown distance of 414 m was good, indicating a well-controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5°C and wind at 25 kt from 300°, contributed to a crosswind of 21 kt and a headwind of 13 kt, which the pilot successfully managed.
The total landing distance of 1,554 m, which accounted for 62% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.0 m from the centreline, which resulted in a score of 94.7%. Overall, the landing was executed with good control and stability, but with some room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rollout alignment.
