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 1,230 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,230 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 220 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Sukhoi SU-26 began with a departure roll on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield. The takeoff distance was 448 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 85 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 7°C with a wind speed of 8 knots coming from 89°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The enroute climb began over Florstadt in Hessen, Germany, with the aircraft climbing from 1,046 feet above sea level to 1,174 feet above sea level, an increase of 128 feet in 1 minute while covering 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile northeast of Florstadt and lasted 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles.
The landing took place back on runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, which has a runway length of 1,230 meters. The aircraft was at a height of 14 feet above ground level at the threshold of the runway, with a speed of 83 knots. The touchdown occurred 218 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -122 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 7°C with a wind speed of 7 knots coming from 89°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The total flight distance covered was 5 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes to complete. The flight used 4 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a high aircraft landing score of 94.4%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process to see why you did so well.
During the Approach Phase, you displayed excellent glideslope alignment, ensuring that the aircraft was descending at the correct angle towards the runway. Additionally, maintaining the speed well above the target allowed for a smooth transition into the Landing Phase.
In the Landing Phase, your performance was commendable. Your threshold height was good, indicating that you approached the runway at the correct altitude. The perfect landing flare showed your skill in managing the descent to ensure a smooth touchdown.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was smooth, demonstrating your ability to execute a soft landing. Keeping the speed on target and landing within the touchdown zone further showcases your precision and control. Additionally, landing 4.7 meters from the centerline indicates good alignment with the runway.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment of 9.9 meters from the centerline shows your ability to keep the aircraft centered as you decelerate and taxi down the runway.
Overall, your performance throughout the landing process was exemplary, with each phase contributing to your impressive score. Keep up the great work and continue honing your skills to achieve even higher scores in the future. Well done!
