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.

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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 2.5° off, against a 1° limit and wings 16° 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 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a movement that lasted 1 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The departure roll commenced on runway 23; the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 78 kt using a takeoff distance of 362 m, which represented 19 % of the runway. Local weather was temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269 °, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
After departure, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, flying a 2 nm entry in 22 seconds.
The crosswind leg of the left-hand pattern covered less than 1 nm in 20 seconds.
The downwind turn was executed over a distance of 2 nm with a turn angle of 45.7 °.
The downwind leg extended 4 nm and was completed in 97 seconds.
The base turn spanned 2 nm with a turn angle of 30.5 °.
The base leg distance was less than 1 nm and lasted 22 seconds.
The final turn covered less than 1 nm in 25 seconds.
During the final approach to runway 23, the aircraft descended from 695 ft AGL to 38 ft AGL in 78 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m; the threshold speed was 76 kt and the touchdown distance measured 360 m. The aircraft touched down at 63 kt, a little fast, with a vertical speed of minus 80 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather remained temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270 °, crosswind 1 kt, headwind 2 kt.
The total landing roll was 512 m, representing 27 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
In total the flight covered 12 nm, took 7, and used 4 kg of fuel.
Aircraft Commander 114 achieved a score of 92.8 % on the landing to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. During the final approach the aircraft descended from 695 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 78 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 76 kt. The flare proceeded without noted deviation.
Touchdown occurred 360 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 63 kt that was a little fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was excellent at minus 80 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out after traveling a total landing distance of 512 m, representing 27 % of the 1 866 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target VREF and fine-tune the flare to keep the touchdown point near the aim point, which will further improve the already strong performance.
