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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,664 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,664 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 296.0° at an altitude of 420.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a threshold height that was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second was also excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 308°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The runway length of 3,494 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,580 meters, which represented 45% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was considered to be highly successful, with a score of 98.2% indicating a very high level of proficiency.
