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: four 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 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
Sideslipping at the lower gate - wing down, opposite rudder. That is a technique for losing height without gaining speed, so the sink rate, the glideslope and wings level are not asked there: they are what the slip is for. The other checks are marked as usual.
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 171 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CT206G taxied to runway 27 at EGPN Dundee Airport and commenced the departure roll, covering 276 m which represented 20 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 64 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 16 °C with a wind from 269° at 2 kt, providing a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
A left-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 27, the aircraft covering less than 1 nm in 28 seconds.
The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg extended 1 nm and was completed in 34 seconds.
During the pattern downwind turn the aircraft travelled 2 nm while turning to an angle of 80.0° relative to the runway heading.
The downwind leg itself measured 2 nm and was flown in 55 seconds.
A base-leg turn followed, again covering 2 nm and aligning the aircraft to an angle of 44.4° to the runway.
The base leg was less than 1 nm in length and was completed in 27 seconds.
The final turn to the approach course was under 1 nm and required 28 seconds.
On final approach to runway 27 the aircraft descended from 558 ft AGL to 20 ft AGL in 56 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 27, whose length is 1,391 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 67 kt, touchdown occurred 171 m down the runway at 57 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 148 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good, and the rollout alignment remained perfect. Local weather at landing was a temperature of 15 °C with a wind from 269° at 2 kt, yielding a headwind of 2 kt and zero cross-wind. The total landing distance measured 327 m, representing 23 % of the runway.
Overall, the flight covered 7 nm, taking 5, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
