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: 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 1,567 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,567 m of the 3,450 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 3 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 27 at WADD Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport with a takeoff distance of 1,439 m, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, with the local weather indicating a temperature of 30°C, wind at 6 knots from 330°, a crosswind of 5 knots, and a headwind of 3 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of WADD Ngurah Rai (Bali) International Airport and ascended from 1,017 ft above sea level to 35,943 ft above sea level, covering 120 nm in 24 minutes. The enroute level cruise began at Latitude: -10.6971487 and Longitude: 115.7059511, lasting 162 minutes and covering 1,189 nm.
The enroute descent commenced 9 miles northwest of YBIU Ballidu Airport Wongan Hills (State of Western Australia, Australia), descending from 35,235 ft above sea level to 1,842 ft above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 99 nm in 23 minutes. The landing took place on runway 03 at YPPH Perth International Airport, which has a runway length of 3,450 m. The aircraft was at a height of 33 ft above ground level at the threshold, with a speed of 136 knots. The touchdown occurred 346 m from the threshold at a speed of 136 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -318 ft/min. Local weather at the destination indicated a temperature of 14°C, wind at 13 knots from 90°, a crosswind of 13 knots, and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance covered was 1,487 m, which was 43% of the runway length. A 2-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for this journey was 1,420 nm, with a duration of 228 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 8,673 kg.
First of all, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 88.3%! This is a very commendable result that reflects your skills and proficiency as a pilot. Let's delve a bit deeper into the different phases of the landing and explore what went well and where there is room for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is highlighted that the glideslope alignment was excellent. This is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. It indicates that you were able to maintain the correct vertical profile during the approach, ensuring a stable and safe landing. Keep up the good work in maintaining such precision during this phase.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is noted that the threshold height was good and the landing flare was very good. This suggests that you were able to make a smooth transition from the descent to the landing, with the aircraft at the right height above the runway. The landing flare indicates that you managed to smoothly reduce the rate of descent just before touchdown, which is key to a gentle and safe landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, there are a few areas that could be improved. While the touchdown rate was a bit hard and the speed slightly above target, it is great to see that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone. This shows that you were able to place the aircraft in the right position on the runway for landing. Additionally, the fact that the aircraft landed with a 13 kn crosswind is commendable, as it can add complexity to the landing process.
As for the Rollout Phase, it is noted that the runway alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft landing 23.1 m from the centerline. This is an area where more precision can be achieved in terms of maintaining alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout.
Overall, your performance in this landing was very good, with strong points in glideslope alignment, landing flare, and handling crosswind conditions. The areas for improvement, such as touchdown rate and runway alignment, can be fine-tuned with practice and focus. Keep up the good work, continue to strive for excellence, and you will no doubt see further improvements in your aircraft landings. Well done!
