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 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 164 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 11 at EKRN Bornholm Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,192 meters, which is 60% 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 11 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of EKRN Bornholm Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,078 feet above sea level to 28,357 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,279 feet, in 11 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 25 miles south east of Torhamn, Sweden, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 131 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 26 miles east of Loftahammar, Sweden, descending from 28,944 feet above sea level to 1,391 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,553 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the south, heading 10.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 164 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, and the touchdown rate was -413 feet per minute, which was considered hard.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and winds of 5 knots at 290 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 307 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 2,310 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 01L was precise, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 164 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, at -413 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing phase.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 290°, resulting in a minimal crosswind component of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,203 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 97.1% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in landing the Airbus A319 at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport.
