Track the centreline on final
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,233 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,233 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport (CYTZ) commenced with a taxiing phase that lasted 40 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 26, utilizing 90% of the available runway length of 1,216 meters to achieve a takeoff distance of 1,098 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 102 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 8°.
Following a brief climb phase, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 1,830 feet above sea level for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase itself had started 1 mile south of Little Portugal, Ontario, and had seen the aircraft ascend 739 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 455 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was subsequently executed at 496 feet above ground level, necessitating a re-initiation of the approach.
The aircraft eventually landed on runway 26, with a touchdown point that utilized more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 110 knots was excessively fast, while the touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4 meters from the centreline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 22 minutes and a fuel consumption of 47 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 26 at CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport from the east was initiated at 0 nm and 455 ft above ground level, heading 253.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 167 kt, indicating a need for improvement in the pilot's ability to manage airspeed during the approach.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,216 m, the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 110 kt was also excessively fast, and the touchdown rate of -220 fpm was only fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 m from the centreline. Despite these issues, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase.
The total landing distance of 1,051 m was 86% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. However, the high threshold speed and touchdown speed, combined with the long touchdown point and slightly misaligned touchdown position, resulted in a landing score of 63.8%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and winds of 4 kt at 9°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
