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 for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 888 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 888 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 351 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Cessna C172, then departed from runway 27L at LHBS Budaörs Airfield. The takeoff distance was 420 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 187 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind present. Following the takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which involved a turn from the runway. This maneuver took less than 1 nautical mile to complete in 113 seconds.
As the aircraft continued in the left-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 27L. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The pattern then proceeded to the downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this phase was 3 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself was 4 nautical miles long and took 187 seconds to complete.
The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this phase was 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 29 seconds to complete. The final turn, which brought the aircraft back onto the runway, was less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds.
The final approach to runway 27L was made from the east, with a heading of 270 degrees at an altitude of 232 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 27L, which had a length of 888 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 60 knots, at 59 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, at 342 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast, at 57 knots. The touchdown rate was good, at -199 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 7.6 meters. The local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff.
The total landing distance was 817 meters, which accounted for 92% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centerline, by 27.3 meters. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took 15 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LHBS Budaörs Airfield, with a score of 73.1%. The final approach was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 0 nm and 232 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 27L, which has a length of 888 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 59 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been a bit cautious during the approach. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 342 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed was a bit fast at 57 knots, which could have been a result of the pilot's caution during the approach.
The touchdown rate was good, at -199 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.6 meters. This could be a result of the pilot's attention to the landing spot or the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 187°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing conditions ideal. The total landing distance was 817 meters, which is 92% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was misaligned from the centreline by 27.3 meters. This could be a result of the pilot's attention to the landing spot or the aircraft's alignment during the rollout. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that could be improved upon in future flights.
