Arrival
Add power on final to hold 66 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 57 kt, 9 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 133 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 66 kt at the threshold
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate 1,136 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 1.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.

Side view — the last 920 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 920 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 32 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 20 at EGKA Brighton City Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 297 m (32 % of the runway). Rotation was established at 64 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
During climb the airplane passed overhead Lancing, ascending from 969 ft asl to 1,447 ft asl - a gain of 478 ft - in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south of Shoreham-by-Sea and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 5 nm were traversed.
The descent phase started 1 mile east of Steyning, descending from 976 ft asl to 132 ft asl - a loss of 844 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
On final approach to runway 20 at EGKA, the aircraft reduced altitude from 383 ft agl to 15 ft agl in 32 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 20, whose length is 920 m. The threshold speed was noted as a little below target at 57 kt. Touchdown occurred 32 m down the runway at 55 kt with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 133 fpm and excellent alignment. The total landing distance measured 335 m (36 % of the runway).
Rollout was completed with perfect runway alignment, confirming the quality of the landing execution.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 10 nm, taking 7 minutes, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
