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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 130 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 to the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a takeoff distance of 1,320 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Troms, Norway. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 116 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 326 meters above sea level to 10,880 meters.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 11 miles south of Kjopsvik, Norway. This cruise phase lasted 29 minutes and covered 199 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles southeast of Terrak, Norway. The descent took 16 minutes and covered 92 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 10,971 meters to 1,303 meters.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 4 miles north of Frosta, Norway. This cruise phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of the ENFR Frigg QP Platform Frosta. The descent took 4 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 1,218 meters to 411 meters.
The final approach to runway 09 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90° at 4 nautical miles and 396 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 2,360 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 79°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The touchdown speed was 136 knots, and the touchdown distance was 132 meters. The touchdown rate was -1.2 meters per second, which was considered fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 754 meters, which was 32% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 427 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 3,338 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as A21N, successfully landed at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a score of 99.7%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 396.0 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 09, which has a length of 2,360 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed was also good, reaching 137 knots, which is a suitable speed for landing. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 132 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 136 knots.
However, the touchdown rate was fair, measuring -1.2 meters per second. A more ideal touchdown rate would be closer to zero, indicating a smoother landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 79°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 2 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 754 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled as it taxied down the runway after landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 99.7% reflects the high level of proficiency displayed by the pilot and the aircraft.
