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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,343 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 412 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KIND Indianapolis International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 14, and the takeoff distance was 1,283 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 140 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and winds of 10 knots at 101 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of KIND Indianapolis International Airport and continued for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,804 feet above sea level to 38,569 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,765 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Bardstown, Kentucky. This phase lasted for 45 minutes and covered a distance of 332 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles northwest of Cochran, Georgia, and lasted for 22 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,588 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,283 feet. The descent covered a distance of 146 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 14 at KJAX Jacksonville International Airport from the northwest. The aircraft was heading at 131.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 14, which had a length of 2,343 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 413 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -306 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,194 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 608 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 3,831 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KJAX Jacksonville International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 131.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 14, which has a length of 2,343 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 413 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -306 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, demonstrating good control and alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C. The total landing distance of 1,194 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at KJAX Jacksonville International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. The minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown position did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly to ensure a stable rollout.
