Track the centreline
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 500 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 500 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 2,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 1,336 m, representing 45 % of the available runway, with liftoff attained at 152 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt; a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt were recorded.
Climb began overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft ascended from 967 ft asl to 3,743 ft asl, a gain of 2,776 ft, in 3 minutes while covering 8 nm.
The first cruise segment started 1 mile south-east of Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, Scotland. This level cruise lasted 2 minutes and extended for 7 nm.
A second cruise segment commenced 3 miles west of Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland. This portion of level flight lasted 1 minute and covered 4 nm.
Descent for the final approach to runway 12 at EGPK began from 1,947 ft agl and proceeded to 59 ft agl in 75 seconds.
During the final approach to runway 12 the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation gates. The approach was conducted in weather of 15 °C, wind from 270° at 2 kt, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a tail-wind component of 2 kt.
Landing on runway 12, whose length is 2,731 m, occurred with a threshold height of 56 ft agl slightly above target and a threshold speed of 117 kt. Touchdown was recorded 102 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 100 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 115 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing roll measured 1,163 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 9.1 m.
In total the flight covered 23 nm, taking 10 and consumed 111 kg of fuel.
The Hawker H25B completed the final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, descending from 1,947 ft agl to 59 ft agl in 75 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed at a height of 56 ft agl, which was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed of 117 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 102 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 100 kt judged good, a smooth vertical rate of minus 115 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment described as perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,163 m, representing 43 % of the 2,731 m runway, and rollout alignment was noted as slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline.
Maintain the established flare height to meet the target threshold height and refine centreline tracking during rollout to reduce the 9.1 m deviation, while the overall performance reflected the high 93.5 % score.
