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 992 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 992 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, a Kodiak 100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOCH Locher, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Once on the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 222 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 268 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead LOCH Locher in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,223 feet above sea level to 9,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,772 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northwest of Bronzolo, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 1 mile west of Ora, and climbed from 9,991 feet above sea level to 13,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,016 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles east of Valfloriana, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered 34 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile east of Asolo in the Veneto region of Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,424 feet above sea level to 983 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,441 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Giudecca, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft continued its descent, it began its final approach to runway 23 at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 233.0 degrees and an altitude of 142 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 213 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 504 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 96 nautical miles, taking 42 minutes, and the aircraft used 100 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at LIPV Venice-Lido Giovanni Nicelli Airfield, with a final approach score of 96.3%. The pilot navigated the aircraft towards the runway 23 from the north east, aligning with a heading of 233.0° at an altitude of 142 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 68 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 213 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and landing technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.6 meters, which may be due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 51% of the runway length. The total landing distance of 504 meters was within acceptable limits, and the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft during the landing phase.
