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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 662 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, an M500, successfully took off after covering 1,119 meters, which is 62% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 102 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed en route, it started 1 mile west of Croy, a location in the Highland region of Scotland. The climb began at an altitude of 670 feet above sea level and reached 1,175 feet, an increase of 505 feet, within a span of 3 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, allowing the aircraft to reach its desired altitude quickly.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 36.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,147 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was made with good visibility, and the aircraft was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 228 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 75 knots, which is within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained excellent control throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 1,240 meters, which is 68% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft even after touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating that it was operated efficiently. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the departure, climb, approach, and landing phases.
The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 36.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,147 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being described as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, registering at 85 knots. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown point was 228 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively acceptable margin.
The touchdown speed of 75 knots was deemed good, and the touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute was described as smooth. This indicates that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing, ensuring a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also reported to be very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft accurately.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 68% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was described as perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop.
Overall, the landing of the M500 at EGPE Inverness Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency. The minor deviations from the target threshold speed and touchdown point were not significant enough to impact the overall safety and efficiency of the landing.
