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 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 20° 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 1,786 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cotswold Airport (EGBP), the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza began its takeoff roll on runway 26, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 78 kt in a distance of 366 m, which accounted for 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from 270°.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility and control, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed smoothly, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 20 seconds. The pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft was evident throughout the pattern, with precise turns and a steady descent rate. The final approach to runway 26 was made from the east, with a heading of 259.0° at 1 nm and an altitude of 214 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed to perfection, with a touchdown speed of 58 kt and a touchdown rate of 14 fpm, which is considered ideal. The aircraft came to rest on the runway in a distance of 127 m, accounting for 18% of the available runway length. The total landing distance of 297 m was well within the acceptable limits, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The flight, which covered a total distance of 6 nm, consumed 72 kg of fuel and was completed in 6 minutes.
The final approach to runway 26 at EGBP Cotswold Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 259.0° at 1 nm and 214 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 68 kt, indicating a slight adjustment in the approach configuration may have been necessary.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 127 m, and the touchdown speed of 58 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of 14 fpm was perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 297 m, which accounted for only 18% of the runway length, was impressive, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft remained well-centered on the runway throughout the rollout. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 99.6%.
