Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,910 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 98 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, then departed from runway 24 at LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport. The takeoff distance was 497 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. With these conditions in mind, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southwest of LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,950 feet above sea level to 3,414 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,464 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 5 miles southwest of LECH Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport and lasted for 16 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Sagunto, where the aircraft descended from 3,999 feet above sea level to 1,907 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,092 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 4 miles southeast of La Pobla de Farnals and lasted for 8 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at LEVC Valencia Airport was made from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,478 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 96 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -59 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 268 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 58 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 37 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at LEVC Valencia Airport, achieving a score of 99.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 302.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,478 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 2,910 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 54 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 96 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -59 feet per minute (fpm).
Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 268 meters was only 9% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a precise and safe landing. Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at LEVC Valencia Airport was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent flying skills.
