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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,415 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 697 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Honda HA420 aircraft departing from runway 28 at ENDU Bardufoss Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,095 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 126 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 263 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Andselv, Troms og Finnmark, Norway. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,671 feet above sea level to 8,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,339 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This cruise phase was initiated 6 miles west of Andselv. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of Moen, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, and descended from 8,008 feet above sea level to 1,152 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,856 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting for 6 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles, as it flew overhead Andselv. The final approach to runway 28 at ENDU Bardufoss Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 287.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,657 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was made on runway 28, which has a length of 2,415 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 122 knots. The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 106 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,310 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The total flight distance was 29 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Honda HA420 aircraft successfully landed at ENDU Bardufoss Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 28 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 287.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,657 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 122 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 106 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,310 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and deceleration during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
