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 1,801 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 249 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Li-2 Aeroflot USSR-69318 started with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LRCL Cluj Napoca, covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll from runway 08 involved a takeoff distance of 593m, which was 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 14°C with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from 149°, resulting in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb began over LRCJ Dezmir Dezmir (Cluj, Romania) and took the aircraft from 1,689 ft asl to 4,332 ft asl, climbing a total of 2,643 ft in 4 minutes and covering 7 nm. The level cruise portion of the flight started 1 mile south of Chinteni (Cluj, Romania) and lasted for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nm.
The landing occurred on runway 19 at LROD Oradea, which had a runway length of 1,801m. The aircraft was at a height of 39 ft agl at the threshold of the runway and had a speed of 74 knots. The touchdown point was 248 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 71 knots and a vertical speed indicator of -251 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 16°C with a wind speed of 4 knots coming from 300°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 867m, which was 48% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 79 nm, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 130 kg of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 96.3%! Let's dive into the detailed analysis of each phase of the landing process.
Firstly, the Approach Phase was highlighted by the excellent glideslope alignment, indicating precise control and alignment with the desired descent path. This crucial phase sets the foundation for a successful landing by ensuring the aircraft is on the correct trajectory towards the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's fantastic to see that the threshold height was good, indicating a smooth descent towards the runway. Additionally, the excellent landing flare suggests that the pilot executed the flare maneuver perfectly, leading to a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, key metrics such as the touchdown rate, speed, and touchdown distance were all on target. A firm touchdown rate indicates a controlled and stable landing, while landing at the correct speed is crucial for a safe and smooth touchdown. Furthermore, landing within the designated touchdown zone and being only 5.5 meters off the runway centerline demonstrates precision and accuracy in the landing approach.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining runway alignment within 8.2 meters of the centerline indicates good control and directionality during the rollout after touchdown. This ensures the aircraft stays within the designated landing area and prepares for a safe taxi to the terminal.
Overall, your performance during the landing was exceptional, with each phase showing a high level of skill and precision. Keep up the great work, and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of aircraft operations. Your attention to detail and proficiency in handling the aircraft are commendable and contribute to a safe and efficient flight experience. Well done!
