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: six 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 2.5° 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 95 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 measured 225 m, representing 16 % of the available runway, and rotation was achieved at 67 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.
During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern for runway 27. The entry segment covered less than 1 nm in 22 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind segment of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway’s far end of 72.6°, and the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 68 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 2 nm with a measured angle of 44.9° to the runway, after which the base leg itself was less than 1 nm in 47 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 33 seconds. On final approach the aircraft descended from 478 ft AGL to 15 ft AGL in 66 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 27, whose total length is 1 391 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 44 kt. Touchdown occurred 95 m down the runway at a speed of 37 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 24 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 3.3 m from the centreline. The total landing distance recorded was 215 m, equivalent to 15 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
The rollout phase continued the good alignment noted at touchdown, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the deceleration to a stop.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 5 (units as recorded), and consumed 1 kg of fuel.
