Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 5.8 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,213 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,213 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at EHTX Texel International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated over a distance of 382 m, representing 31 % of the runway, and lifted off at 71 kt; ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, giving a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The right-hand pattern entry from runway 21 was completed in 23 seconds while traveling less than 1 nm.
The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was flown in 21 seconds, also covering less than 1 nm.
On the downwind turn the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with a 45° angle to the runway and a heading of 74.1°.
The downwind leg extended 4 nm and was completed in 110 seconds.
During the base turn the aircraft turned through a 45° angle to the runway, covering 4 nm and reaching a 30.9° angle to the runway.
The base leg was flown in 11 seconds over a distance of less than 1 nm.
The final turn to align with runway 03 spanned 19 nm and required 518 seconds.
For the final approach the aircraft approached runway 03 from the southwest, on a heading of 38.0°, at 2 nm and 899 ft AGL.
Landing on runway 03, which is 1,213 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 65 kt; touchdown occurred 266 m down the runway at 56 kt with a descent rate of minus 59 fpm and perfect alignment, while weather remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, 2 kt cross-wind and 1 kt tail-wind.
The total landing distance was 600 m, representing 49 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered a total of 29 nm, taking 17 and used 0 kg of fuel.
The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ entered the final approach to runway 03 at EHTX Texel International Airport from the south-west, flying a heading of 38.0 ° at 2 nm and 899 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a threshold speed of 65 kt. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 266 m, a touchdown speed of 56 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 59 fpm, with runway touchdown alignment perfect.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft aligned precisely on the centreline, speed and rate matching the values recorded at flare, confirming the quality of the touchdown execution.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 600 m, representing 49 % of the 1,213 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current stabilised-approach technique and monitor the touchdown point to keep it consistently near the 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point, ensuring the excellent alignment and rate are preserved.
