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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,299 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 155 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda Jet taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LTFK Gokceada Airport, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 731 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 128 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 19°C and wind blowing at 9 knots from a direction of 39°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. After taking off, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of LT86 Gökçeada Airport Gökçeada. The climb was from an altitude of 1,019 feet above sea level to 23,835 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,816 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles west of LTBB Bozcaada Airport Bozcaada and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. Following the cruise, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southwest of Vrisa in the North Aegean region of Greece. The descent was from an altitude of 24,067 feet above sea level to 1,155 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,911 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 40 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 01 at LGHI Chios Island National Airport from the south, heading 9.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,144 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01 was successful, with a runway length of 1,299 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 106 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 154 meters, and the touchdown speed was 101 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22°C and wind blowing at 10 knots from a direction of 19°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 830 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 122 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes. The aircraft used 370 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Honda Jet successfully landed at LGHI Chios Island National Airport, achieving a score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 9.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,144 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 19°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 1,299 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 106 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 154 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 101 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.6 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions, with a headwind of 10 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots, were favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance was 830 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Honda Jet's landing at LGHI Chios Island National Airport was a success, with a high score of 97.3%.
