Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

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.

Landing Summary

Overall, it sounds like there were several areas that could be improved during the aircraft landing. However, there were some positive aspects as well.

What went well: - The Rollout Phase had fair runway alignment, which is a good starting point for a successful landing.

What didn't go so well: - The Approach Phase seemed to have several issues, including poor descent path, heading alignment, and speed control above the glideslope limit. This can lead to an unstable approach and potentially unsafe landing conditions. - The Landing Phase had a high threshold height, poor landing flare, and instability during landing. These factors can contribute to a hard touchdown and potentially even a bounce on touchdown, which can be dangerous. - The Touchdown Phase had a hard touchdown rate, high speed, and a bounce on touchdown. Landed with a 5 kn tailwind, which is not ideal for landing safety.

Recommendations: - Work on improving the descent path, heading alignment, and speed control during the Approach Phase to ensure a stable approach. - Focus on executing a proper landing flare and maintaining stability during the Landing Phase to achieve a smoother touchdown. - Be mindful of landing with a tailwind and work on landing with a headwind when possible for safer landing conditions. - Practice touchdown techniques to reduce the impact on landing and ensure a smooth rollout phase with good runway alignment.

By addressing these areas for improvement and practicing safe landing techniques, you can enhance the overall safety and success of future aircraft landings. Keep working
