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 1,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,322 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
First and foremost, it is important to acknowledge the positive aspects of the aircraft landing score, which was a commendable 84.9%. This demonstrates that overall, the pilot exhibited a good level of competency during the landing process.
Upon closer examination, it is clear that there were certain areas that could be improved in order to achieve a higher score in future landings. During the Approach Phase, it is noted that the descent path was above the glideslope limit and the speed was slightly above target. It is essential for the pilot to maintain a steady descent path within the glideslope limit and to adhere closely to the designated speed in order to ensure a smooth and safe landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is apparent that there were some areas for improvement. While the threshold height and landing flare were good, there were concerns regarding the bank angle stability during landing. It is crucial for the pilot to maintain proper bank angle control in order to ensure a stable and controlled landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were both positives and areas for improvement. The touchdown rate was good, but the speed was slightly above target. Additionally, the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway, and the runway touchdown position was significantly off centerline. It is important for the pilot to work on achieving a more precise touchdown point and aligning with the centerline of the runway to ensure optimal landing conditions.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was 5.2 m off centerline. This demonstrates a need for improved alignment and centerline tracking during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, while there were certain areas that could be improved upon, it is important to recognize the positives in the landing score and to view this as an opportunity for growth and development. By focusing on precision, speed control, and alignment, the pilot can work towards achieving an even higher score in future landings. With dedication and practice, improvements can be made to master the art of a smooth and successful landing.
