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: seven 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 4.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit.

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 303 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Cessna CT206G taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and began the departure roll; the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 314 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and rotated at 65 kt. Local conditions at the time were a temperature of 15 °C, wind 4 kt from 273°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Entering the left-hand traffic pattern for runway 23, the aircraft covered less than 1 nm in 24 seconds.
Continuing the left-hand pattern crosswind leg, the aircraft again traversed less than 1 nm, this time in 16 seconds.
During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with an angle to the runway’s far end of 66.4°.
The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was completed in 66 seconds.
On the base-leg turn the aircraft flew a 1 nm segment, turning to a runway heading of 55.2° (45° to the runway).
The base leg itself was less than 1 nm and required 42 seconds to fly.
The final-turn segment was also under 1 nm and was flown in 26 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23 the aircraft descended from 391 ft AGL to 34 ft AGL in 46 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates. Weather at this stage was a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 23, which is 1 866 m long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed slightly above the target at 72 kt. Touchdown occurred 302 m down the runway at 58 kt with a vertical speed of minus 10 fpm and perfect alignment. The total landing distance recorded was 496 m, equivalent to 27 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 5 (units as given), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
