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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 2,283 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at Teesside International Airport, located at EGNV. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 756 meters, which was 33% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 136 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm atmosphere. The enroute climb phase began overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,143 feet above sea level to 2,054 feet, a vertical gain of 911 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. This phase took place 1 mile north-east of Middleton Tyas, a location in North Yorkshire, England. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at Teesside International Airport, heading in a northeasterly direction at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,173 feet above ground level.
The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 105 knots. The touchdown distance was 334 meters, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was slightly harder than expected, at -416 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, with crosswind and headwind components of 1 knot each.
The flight came to an end with a total distance of 21 nautical miles, which was covered in 9 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 442 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed safely and efficiently, with good adherence to standard operating procedures and acceptable performance metrics.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Teesside International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,173 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, taking into account the runway's length of 2,283 meters and its orientation.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway threshold with a speed of 114 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 334 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 105 knots was within the desired limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than expected, at -416 feet per minute (fpm). This may be attributed to the aircraft's weight, air density, or other factors that influenced the descent. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained on course and aligned with the runway during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at Teesside International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
