Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See 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.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,053 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 590 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 09 at LTBY Anadolu Airport, where the aircraft, a Carenado PA44, G-BGCP, successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 259 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 100 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated efficiently, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 103.0 degrees to the runway.
The downwind leg of the pattern was a significant portion of the flight, covering 3 nautical miles in 84 seconds. The base leg turn was another critical phase, where the aircraft turned at an angle of 7.7 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 09 was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 93.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 349 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09 was a notable achievement, with the aircraft touching down 200 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 100 degrees.
The total landing distance was 895 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skills and control over the aircraft. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Carenado PA44 aircraft, registered as G-BGCP, successfully landed at LTBY Anadolu Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 09 was executed from the west, with a heading of 93.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 349 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 200 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 3,053 meters. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle headwind of 7 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a stable and controlled approach.
The pilot's performance during the landing was impressive, with a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. The total landing distance of 895 meters, which accounted for only 29% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Carenado PA44 aircraft, G-BGCP, at LTBY Anadolu Airport was a success, with a score of 96.5%. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases with precision and control was evident, and the landing was executed with a high degree of proficiency.
