Departure Roll

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 04 at NTAA Faa'a International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,725 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 0 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb overhead Papeete, Iles du Vent, French Polynesia. The climb from 1,014 feet above sea level to 36,005 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 34,991 feet, achieved in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 134 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 388 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude.

The enroute descent started 41 miles south of NCAT Enua Airport, Atiu Island, Cook Islands, and involved a descent from 36,081 feet above sea level to 1,292 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,789 feet, achieved in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
