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 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 298 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway was swift, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 421 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind present. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of one nautical mile in 128 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than one nautical mile in just 19 seconds.
The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of five nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 45 degrees, with a bank angle of 2.1 degrees. The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 39.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level and a distance of four nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 05 was executed smoothly, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 84 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 297 meters, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -65 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind present. The total landing distance was 641 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was six minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 39.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,119 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 05.
The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport is 1,814 meters long, providing ample space for the aircraft to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 84 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors.
The touchdown distance of 297 meters was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 64 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained the correct heading and alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 kt from 331°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 kt, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 641 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills and experience.
