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: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 3.22 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an S22T, then departed from runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) in New York, United States. The takeoff distance was 180 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 89 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting from an altitude of 994 feet above sea level (asl) and reaching 1,491 ft asl in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was initiated overhead East Elmhurst, New York.
Later in the flight, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 1,513 ft asl and descending to 401 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent was initiated overhead College Point, New York.
The final approach to runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0 degrees at an altitude of 379 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots and a distance of 127 meters. The touchdown rate was a bit hard at -403 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as S22T, successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA) on runway 13. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 379 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, resulting in a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a distance of 127 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -403 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not compromise the safety of the landing.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 70 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been cautious during the approach, which is a good safety practice. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 87.3% on its performance.
