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: four 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 6.7° off, against a 1° limit.
Sideslipping at the lower gate - wing down, opposite rudder. That is a technique for losing height without gaining speed, so the sink rate, the glideslope and wings level are not asked there: they are what the slip is for. The other checks are marked as usual.

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 154 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CT206G departed from runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport, achieving a take-off roll of 289 m which represented 21 % of the available runway. Rotation was established at 68 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt; the cross-wind component was zero and the head-wind component was 2 kt.
During the descent phase the aircraft reduced altitude from 397 ft AGL to 25 ft AGL in 53 seconds while maintaining the required stabilisation parameters, as indicated by the stabilisation gates.
The approach was conducted on a left-hand pattern for runway 27. Entry to the pattern covered less than 1 nm in 34 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind leg of less than 1 nm in 29 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 2 nm with a 79.0° angle to the runway, and the downwind leg itself covered 2 nm in 58 seconds. The base turn also measured 2 nm with a 44.2° angle to the runway, and the base leg was less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The final turn completed the pattern with a distance of less than 1 nm in 44 seconds before the final approach was established.
Landing was executed on runway 27, whose length is 1 391 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 69 kt and touchdown occurred 154 m down the runway at 61 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 116 fpm. Runway alignment at touchdown was described as very good, and the same weather conditions as at departure prevailed (15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, zero cross-wind, 2 kt head-wind).
In total the flight covered 8 nm, lasted 5 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
