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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 227 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 15 at Campo di Volo Tignes Airport, where the DHC-2 Beaver took off with a takeoff distance of 130 meters, which is 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 61 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
After a brief enroute level cruise that lasted less than a minute and covered less than a nautical mile, the aircraft began its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,922 feet above sea level (asl) to 4,808 ft asl, an increase of 2,886 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was initiated over Puos d'Alpago in Veneto, Italy.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, as it flew 2 miles south of Farra d'Alpago. Following this, the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 5,355 ft asl to 7,000 ft asl, an increase of 1,644 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase was initiated 2 miles northwest of Fregona in Veneto, Italy.
The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted 16 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles, as it flew 2 miles southeast of Limana in Veneto, Italy. After this, the aircraft began its descent phase, which started 1 mile northwest of San Gregorio nelle Alpi and involved a descent from 6,480 ft asl to 1,017 ft asl, a decrease of 5,463 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing was made at Campo di Volo Sedico, with the aircraft descending from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 96 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then approached touchdown, descending from 43 ft agl to 0 ft agl in just 6 seconds. The touchdown speed was 56 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was hard at -491 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance was also good at 223 meters.
Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout at Campo di Volo Sedico, where it reached an altitude of 921 ft asl and covered a distance of 87 meters. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 31 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at Campo di Volo Sedico, achieving a high score of 91.7%. The final approach to landing was executed from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 96 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 43 feet agl to 0 feet agl in just 6 seconds, demonstrating a steep rate of descent.
The touchdown was executed at a speed of 56 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, with a descent rate of -491 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 223 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 1 knot.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout at Campo di Volo Sedico. At an altitude of 921 feet above sea level (asl), the aircraft came to a stop after traveling a distance of 87 meters. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and distance, despite a hard touchdown rate.
