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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,956 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 25R at EBBR Brussels Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,722 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 177 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Diegem in Flanders, Belgium. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 134 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,167 feet above sea level to 37,200 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,034 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south east of Servigny-les-Raville in Grand Est, France. This phase lasted for 92 minutes and covered a distance of 739 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 12 miles north east of El Haouaria in Gouvernorat de Nabeul, Tunisia. The descent took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,147 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,854 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at DTMB Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 73.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 100 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots and a touchdown rate of -312 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 395 meters, which was good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,295 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 976 nautical miles, which was covered in 153 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,810 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at DTMB Monastir Habib Bourguiba International Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 73.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots. The touchdown distance of 395 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly firm at -312 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing.
Despite the successful touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the landing distance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 100°.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position. The total landing distance of 1,295 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the braking or a miscalculation of the rollout distance. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
