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 1.2° off, against a 1° 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 251 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Commander 114 taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the departure roll, accelerating over a measured takeoff distance of 421 m, which represents 23 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 79 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, including a 1 kt cross-component and a 2 kt headwind component.
During the left-hand pattern entry for runway 23, the aircraft covered 1 nm in 22 seconds, establishing the initial position for the circuit.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was flown at a distance of less than 1 nm and required 26 seconds to complete.
On the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 45.1° angle to the runway while traveling 2 nm.
The downwind leg itself extended 3 nm and was completed in 91 seconds.
The base-leg turn was executed with a 53.6° angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nm.
The base leg that followed was less than 1 nm in length and lasted 40 seconds.
The final turn into the approach course covered less than 1 nm and was completed in 19 seconds.
During the final approach to runway 23, the aircraft descended from 467 ft AGL to 31 ft AGL in 48 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23 with a threshold speed of 67 kt, a touchdown distance of 249 m and a touchdown speed of 55 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 70 fpm and alignment was recorded as very good. Local weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, including a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
The rollout distance measured 417 m, representing 22 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment while decelerating to a stop.
In total, the flight covered 10 nm, required 7 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport descended from 467 ft agl to 31 ft agl in 48 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates; the aircraft maintained the prescribed flight path under temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
At threshold the aircraft established a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 67 kt, then executed the flare and rolled out to a good touchdown distance of 249 m and a good touchdown speed of 55 kt.
Touchdown was recorded with an excellent rate of -70 fpm and a very good runway touchdown alignment, confirming the aircraft’s position at the 249 m mark and speed of 55 kt at the moment of wheel-strike.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 417 m, representing 22 % of the 1,866 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Maintain the current approach and flare technique while monitoring the touchdown point to keep it consistently near the 300 m aim point, ensuring the excellent rate and alignment are preserved for continued high-scoring landings.
