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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 995 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 995 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 09 at EDWZ Baltrum Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 216 m, representing 60 % of the runway, with a liftoff speed of 52 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 17 °C, wind from 204° at 11 kt, a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a tail-wind component of 4 kt.
Climb began once the aircraft passed overhead Baltrum, rising from 544 ft asl to 925 ft asl - a gain of 381 ft - in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
Level cruise was established still over Baltrum and persisted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 15 nm.
During the final approach to runway 26 at EDWY Norderney Airport, the descent reduced altitude from 280 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 58 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Approach conditions at Norderney reported a temperature of 18 °C, wind from 206° at 10 kt, an 8 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.
Landing on runway 26, which is 995 m long, was performed with a good threshold height; the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 62 kt. The touchdown occurred well beyond the usual point, using more than 50 % of the runway, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 93 fpm. Lateral alignment at touchdown was off by 7.9 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 715 m, equivalent to 72 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was recorded as very good.
In total, the flight covered 19 nm, taking 13, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
The TL3000 Sirius conducted its final approach to runway 26 at EDWY Norderney Airport, descending from 280 ft agl to 41 ft agl in 58 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local conditions were temperature 18 °C, wind 10 kt from 206°, with an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind.
At threshold the height was good and the aircraft crossed at a speed slightly above target, 62 kt. The flare transitioned smoothly into touchdown.
Touchdown occurred well beyond the intended aim point, using more than 50 % of the available runway. The aircraft touched down at 45 kt, a good speed, with an excellent vertical rate of minus 93 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.9 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 715 m, representing 72 % of the 995 m runway.
Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline through the remainder of the runway.
For future landings, aim to achieve the touchdown point nearer the 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point to reduce runway usage, and refine lateral control to keep the touchdown location within a tighter centreline tolerance.
