Track the centreline
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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,866 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 232 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Hawker H25B departed Inverness Airport (EGPE) from runway 23, achieving a take-off roll of 871 m which represented 47 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 141 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft rose from 993 ft asl to 1,572 ft asl, gaining 579 ft in one minute while covering 4 nm over the Inverness area.
The level cruise segment began over Balloch, lasting four minutes and traversing 11 nm before the descent commenced.
Descent began from 683 ft agl and was completed to 43 ft agl in 61 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
On final approach to runway 23 at EGPE, the aircraft prepared for landing under conditions of 16 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
Touchdown was recorded at a speed of 104 kt, 233 m down the runway, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 325 fpm. The threshold speed was 112 kt, the runway length is 1,866 m, and the total landing distance measured 662 m (35 % of the runway). Alignment on touchdown and rollout was perfect.
The rollout continued with perfect alignment, concluding the landing phase.
In total the flight covered 18 nm, required approximately 7 minutes, and consumed 67 kg of fuel.
The Hawker H25B completed the final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness, descending from 683 ft agl to 43 ft agl in 61 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates; local conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft achieved a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 112 kt.
Touchdown occurred 233 m down the runway at a good speed of 104 kt; the vertical rate was firm at -325 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 662 m, representing 35 % of the 1 866 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
To refine the already strong performance, a slightly higher flare could be practiced to reduce the firm -325 fpm touchdown rate while preserving the 233 m aim point, and continued attention to speed control will maintain the excellent alignment and overall score.
