Arrival
Time the turn onto base by bank angle so you roll out at the proper 45 degree angle to the runway, not sooner or later.
What happened: The turn from downwind onto base was rolled out at the wrong angle to the runway rather than the intended 45 degree join.
Watch for: Watch your angle to the runway through the base turn, aiming to roll out at 45 degrees.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.

Side view — the last 1,061 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,061 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 86 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Oban Airport (EGEO), the CT210N aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 19, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 79 kt in a distance of 328 meters, which accounted for 35% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 26 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 19 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which spanned a distance of 3 nm and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a bank angle of 22.9°. The final approach was executed from the north, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 185.0° at an altitude of 98 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway threshold at a speed of 70 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 83 meters. The touchdown rate was a respectable -123 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 379 meters, accounting for 40% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The flight, which covered a total distance of 17 nm, consumed 8 kg of fuel and lasted approximately 10 minutes.
The final approach to runway 19 at EGEO Oban Airport from the north was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 185.0° at 0 nm and 98 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 74 kt, indicating a slight deceleration during the final stages of the approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 83 m, and the touchdown speed of 70 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -123 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 269°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance of 379 m, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a score of 99.9%.
