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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,906 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 216 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a P180, then departed from runway 21L at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). The takeoff distance was 598 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 118 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 9 knots at 230°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,328 feet above sea level (asl) to 29,536 ft asl, an increase of 28,208 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles, starting 5 miles west of Galatas.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 29,550 ft asl to 30,447 ft asl, an increase of 897 feet in 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, starting 6 miles south of Palaia Epidavros. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 64 minutes and covering 164 nautical miles, starting 1 mile south-east of Dhimaina.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent from 30,034 ft asl to 6,448 ft asl, a decrease of 23,587 feet in 13 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles, starting 2 miles south of Perdika. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, starting 7 miles south-west of Giannades.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 6,145 ft asl to 3,706 ft asl, a decrease of 2,440 feet in 3 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles, starting 2 miles south of Krini. This was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, starting 3 miles north-west of Acharavi.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 3,183 ft asl to 387 ft asl, a decrease of 2,797 feet in 5 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles, starting overhead Kassiopi. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR), heading 170.0° at 1 nautical mile and 371 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 216 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 101 knots, and the touchdown rate was -172 feet per minute (fpm), both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 21 knots at 150°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 20 knots.
The total landing distance was 438 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 289 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 433 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 170.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 371 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 101 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 216 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired parameters, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 20 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The runway length of 1,906 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 438 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was described as perfect, suggesting that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and safely, and the pilot demonstrating excellent control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
