Hold the approach angle
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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 184 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield. The aircraft, Sirius, took off with a takeoff distance of 57 meters, which was 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 53 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from a height of 540 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,115 ft asl. This climb of 575 feet was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb took place over the location X6BU Bute, situated in North Ayrshire, Scotland.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent from a height of 1,116 ft asl to 384 ft asl. This descent of 733 feet was accomplished in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile south of EGRT Bute Airfield, which is also located in Rothesay, North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The final approach to runway 27 at X6BU Bute was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 265.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 329 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 27 at X6BU Bute was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -127 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 381 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at X6BU Bute with a score of 92.6%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 329 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being described as good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 56 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was deemed good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -127 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 381 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 92.6% in the assessment.
