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 588 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 588 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Kodiak 100, then departed from runway 27 at EDHE Uetersen Airfield, with a takeoff distance of 269 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Heist in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, rising from 1,035 feet above sea level to 5,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,972 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile southwest of Raa-Besenbek, lasting 14 minutes and covering 41 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Toenning, descending from 4,547 feet above sea level to 612 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,936 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. Following this, the enroute level cruise started again 4 miles southeast of Wyk auf Foehr, lasting 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at EDXY Wyk auf Föhr Airport was made from the north, heading 198.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 428 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway, which had a length of 588 meters, was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 63 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 151 meters, and the touchdown speed at 59 knots was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate was good at -176 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 392 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline.
The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 77 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes. The aircraft used 88 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at EDXY Wyk auf Föhr Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 198.0° at 1 nautical mile and 428 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 20, which has a length of 588 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 63 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 151 meters. The touchdown speed of 59 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 392 meters, which is 67% of the runway length.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 8.0 meters off-centerline. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot was impressive, resulting in a high score of 97.0%.
