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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 138 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport took approximately 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 29, utilizing 502 meters, or 29% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 54 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 16 °C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 293 °, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 14-knot headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it maintained a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 20 seconds, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg of the pattern spanned 2 nautical miles, taking 62 seconds to complete. The base leg turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nautical miles, was followed by a base leg of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final approach to runway 29 was initiated from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 288.0 ° at 1 nautical mile and 378 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 29 was executed with good threshold height, although the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 56 knots. The touchdown distance was 135 meters, or 15% of the runway's length, and the touchdown speed was 45 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate of -242 feet per minute was fair, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 256 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft utilized 4 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a total distance of 8 nautical miles and took approximately 10 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 29 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport was executed from the south east, with the aircraft aligned on heading 288.0° at 1 nm and 378 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 56 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 135 m, and the touchdown speed of 45 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -242 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight impact on the aircraft's deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 14 kt at 292°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 256 m was 15% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
