Maintain the centreline
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: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,165 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing showed a mix of both areas for improvement and areas of excellence.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit. This could potentially lead to a steep descent and a harder landing than ideal. However, it is encouraging to see that the heading alignment was excellent and the speed was slightly below the target, which shows good control over the aircraft during this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is great to see that the threshold height was slightly too low as this indicates a smooth descent towards the runway. Additionally, the landing flare was very good, showing proper technique in preparing for touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was excellent and the speed was on target. These are key factors in ensuring a smooth and safe landing. Furthermore, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a positive indicator of precision in landing. The runway touchdown position being 2.0 m from the centerline is still within an acceptable range, although ideally, it could be closer to the centerline for optimal alignment.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was very good, which is crucial for ensuring a straight and controlled rollout after touchdown.
In conclusion, while there are areas for improvement such as maintaining the descent path within the glideslope limit and fine-tuning the touchdown position, there were many positive aspects to this aircraft landing. With continued practice and attention to detail, the pilot can further refine their skills and aim for consistently smooth and precise landings in the future. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in all phases of flight!
