Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 50 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 43 kt against a target of 50 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 50 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
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 182 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The TL-96 Star taxied to runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport and commenced the departure roll, covering a takeoff distance of 203 m which represented 15 % of the runway. Rotation was achieved at 59 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, providing a 2 kt headwind and zero cross-wind component.
After liftoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern for runway 27, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 21 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also measured less than 1 nm and was completed in 20 seconds.
During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway’s far end of 71.0°.
The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was flown in 55 seconds.
The base-leg turn was a 2 nm maneuver with an angle to the runway (45°) of 54.8°.
The base leg itself was 1 nm long and required 53 seconds to complete.
The final turn to the runway approach covered 1 nm and lasted 84 seconds.
A go-around was executed on runway 09 at EGPN Dundee Airport when the aircraft was 3 ft above ground level.
The subsequent landing on runway 09, whose length is 1,391 m, was performed with a threshold speed of 43 kt. Touchdown occurred 182 m down the runway at a speed of 30 kt and a vertical rate of minus 29 fpm, with the touchdown point offset 3.4 m from the centreline. Weather remained 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, now a 2 kt tailwind and zero cross-wind.
Rollout distance measured 266 m, representing 19 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was recorded as very good.
In total, the flight covered 8 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
