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 2.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° 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 165 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CT206G taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering 329 m which represents 18 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 62 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the right-hand pattern the aircraft entered 1 nm from the runway in 27 seconds, then proceeded on the cross-wind leg for less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The downwind turn covered 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway measured at 52.2°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 79 seconds. The base turn also spanned 1 nm at a 45° angle of 51.4°, and the base leg was less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and lasted 40 seconds. On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 354 ft AGL to 15 ft AGL in 40 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 67 kt, and touchdown occurred 165 m down the runway at 58 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 104 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect. Local weather at the time of landing was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 343 m, again 18 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was noted as very good, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 8 nm, required 5 minutes, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
