Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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 4.1° off, against a 1° limit.

Side view — the last 1,391 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 166 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run required 604 m, representing 43 % of the available runway, and liftoff was achieved at 68 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a head-wind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
After departure the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 27, covering less than 1 nm in 24 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg of the pattern extended 1 nm and was completed in 31 seconds.
During the downwind turn the aircraft described a 2 nm arc with a 45° entry angle to the runway and a measured turn angle of 77.0°.
The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm and was flown in 61 seconds.
The base turn was another 2 nm arc, entered at 45° to the runway with a turn angle of 39.8°.
The base leg covered less than 1 nm and was completed in 22 seconds.
The final turn to align with the runway was less than 1 nm in length and required 38 seconds.
On final approach to runway 27 the aircraft descended from 483 ft AGL to 20 ft AGL in 57 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was made on runway 27, whose total length is 1 391 m. The threshold speed was 69 kt, touchdown occurred 166 m down the runway at 59 kt with a vertical speed of minus 108 fpm, and the touchdown point was 3.5 m left of the centreline. The total landing roll measured 364 m, equivalent to 26 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
The runway rollout continued without deviation, maintaining the precise alignment achieved at touchdown.
In total the flight covered 8 nm, took 6 (units as recorded), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
