This animation explains how planning ahead and making early decisions can help reduce the risk of a runway excursion during take-off or landing.
Before you fly, check the weather, NOTAMs and runway conditions and make sure you have enough runway for the conditions.
During take-off and landing, stay within your limits and keep the aircraft on the centreline.
Set up early for a stable approach and aim to land in the first third of the runway.
If something is not right on take-off, reject the take-off. If your approach is unstable, go around early.
Refresh your knowledge before your next flight. Find more information in the pilot safety hub: https://civilaviation.au/non-controlled
