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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.

Side view — the last 550 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 243 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Turbo Porter aircraft departed from runway 27 at EGRT Bute Airfield, requiring a takeoff distance of 218 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 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.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, requiring a distance of less than 1 nautical mile to complete the turn in 16 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was completed in 7 seconds, also from the right-hand side. The downwind turn was executed at an angle of 43.0 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 82 seconds to complete.
As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned at an angle of 25.4 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 7 seconds. The final turn was executed in 37 seconds, bringing the aircraft onto the final approach to runway 27 from the east at a heading of 266.0 degrees and an altitude of 408 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly below the target at 62 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 240 meters, and the touchdown speed was 50 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.8 meters.
The total landing distance was 339 meters, which is 62% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
The Turbo Porter aircraft successfully landed at EGRT Bute Airfield, achieving a score of 92.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0° at 1 nautical mile and 408 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 550 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 240 meters, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was also smooth, with a rate of -109 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively, resulting in a smooth touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.8 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed. The total landing distance was 339 meters, which is 62% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
