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.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.

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 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 424 meters, which is 23% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 91 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff 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. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of one nautical mile in 60 seconds. The pattern crosswind leg was also flown to the right, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 16 seconds.
The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of four nautical miles at an angle of 46.6 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was short, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 18 seconds. The base leg turn was flown at an angle of 90.9 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of two nautical miles. The base leg was short, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 15 seconds.
The final turn was also short, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 31 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, flying at a heading of 242.0 degrees and an altitude of 390 feet above ground level, one nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 81 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 347 meters, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -82 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of takeoff, with 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. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the flight took six minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 91.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 242.0° at 1 nautical mile and 390 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 81 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
The touchdown distance of 347 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot successfully slowed the aircraft to a safe speed before touching down. The touchdown rate of -82 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise alignment with the runway during the landing phase. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 331°. This indicates that there were no significant wind or weather factors that could have affected the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing phases. The score of 91.1% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
