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 1,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an FWB EasyJet, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, which is located in the state of Western Australia, Australia. This taxiing process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 11, with a takeoff distance of 704 meters, which is 35% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,191 feet above sea level to 5,743 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,552 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
During the enroute descent, the aircraft started descending from an altitude of 5,718 feet above sea level to 3,057 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,661 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11 at Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 111.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,848 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 11 was successful, with a touchdown point 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -354 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which is 57% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.3 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 384 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The FWB EasyJet aircraft successfully landed at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach to runway 11 was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 111.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,848 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.8 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft's ability to handle the wind conditions was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 1,130 meters was 57% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 11.3 meters, which may require further attention to ensure proper alignment during future landings.
Overall, the FWB EasyJet aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency during the landing at YPKG Kalgoorlie Boulder Airport, with a score of 94.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
