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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,970 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 855 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,623 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 77 knots.
Following the departure, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase took place overhead KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport in Eagle, Colorado. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 35°F.
The enroute climb phase began overhead the airport and involved a climb from 6,848 feet above sea level to 7,420 feet above sea level, an increase of 571 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Later, the aircraft climbed from 7,420 feet above sea level to 6,765 feet above sea level, an increase of 655 feet, in 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This second climb phase started 1 mile east of the airport.
The final approach to runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 262.0° at 1 nautical mile and 293 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 852 feet, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 75 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -250 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°F. The total landing distance was 1,664 feet, which is 21% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used 4 pounds of fuel.
The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 262.0° at 1 nm and 293 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to runway 25 was precise, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 75 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 852 ft, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -250 fpm was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 36°F. The total landing distance of 1,664 ft was 21% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
