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.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport (YSSY) on runway 16R. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 168.0° at an altitude of 381.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 272 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was impressive, with an excellent rate of -0.4 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 14.2 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-center.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance was 1,262 meters, which is approximately 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 within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 13.8 meters. This minor deviation may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a steady rollout or the aircraft's response to the braking system.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. While there were minor deviations from the centerline, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were able to mitigate these issues, resulting in a smooth and safe landing.
