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 1,027 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,027 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 191 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The landing on runway 34 at KFHR was executed with a runway length of 3,369 ft, a height at threshold of 28 ft agl, and a speed at threshold of 75 kn. The touchdown occurred 624 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 69 kn and a VSI of -167 ft/m. The local temperature was recorded at 59 °F with a wind of 2 kn at 270 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kn and a headwind of 0 kn.
