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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. This process took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 16, with a takeoff distance of 1,435 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at an angle of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile south of the airport, rising from an altitude of 889 feet above sea level to 31,057 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,168 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 6 miles northwest of Lakkopetra, a location in Western Greece, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 259 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Astypalaia, a location in the South Aegean region of Greece. The descent from 31,001 feet above sea level to 1,334 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,666 feet, took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24, which has a length of 3,297 meters, was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at an angle of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,142 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 456 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,492 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LGRP Diagoras Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing phase. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions would have required the pilot to make adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing configuration to ensure a safe and stable touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,142 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and safety, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phase.
