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 3,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this aircraft landing had a mix of both positive and negative aspects throughout the different phases of the landing process.
Starting with the Approach Phase, the descent path was noted to be below the glideslope limit, indicating that the aircraft was descending at a steeper angle than optimal. However, the heading alignment and speed were both on target, suggesting good control during this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the threshold height was deemed good, indicating the aircraft was at the correct height when passing over the threshold of the runway. The landing flare, which refers to the pilot's technique of smoothly transitioning the aircraft from a descent to level flight just above the runway, was described as perfect.
In the Touchdown Phase, the touchdown rate was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the speed was noted to be slightly above target. The touchdown point being 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone is concerning, as it suggests the aircraft touched down further along the runway than intended. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 3.6 meters from the centerline is not ideal, as the aircraft ideally should touch down closer to the centerline for optimal alignment.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the alignment with the runway was off, with the aircraft being 3.2 meters from the centerline. Proper alignment is crucial during this phase to ensure a safe and controlled rollout along the runway.
In conclusion, while there were some positive aspects noted during this aircraft landing, such as good threshold height and excellent touchdown rate, there were also areas for improvement, such as descent path, speed control, touchdown point, and runway alignment. Continued practice and attention to these areas can help improve future landings for the pilot.
