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 1,596 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,596 m of the 2,227 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 304 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 234 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 68 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 22 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Punta Sabbioni, a location in Veneto, Italy, and the aircraft successfully climbed from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 2,961 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,940 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Tessera, another location in Veneto, Italy. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent, which began overhead Piombino Dese. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 2,960 feet above sea level to 1,344 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,616 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at LIPH Treviso Antonio Canova Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 62 knots and a touchdown distance of 301 meters. The touchdown speed was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 200 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was also 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,522 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 22 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 52 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at Treviso Antonio Canova Airport (LIPH) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then touched down on runway 07, which has a length of 2,227 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was above the target at 78 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained a safe speed during the approach, which is essential for a smooth landing. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 301 meters, and the touchdown speed was within the acceptable range at 62 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -317 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft touched down with a controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.7 meters off-centerline. This may be attributed to the crosswind or tailwind conditions present during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the tailwind component was also 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,522 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills.
