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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,139 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at DeKalb Peachtree Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 21L, with a takeoff distance of 902 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. After departing from DeKalb Peachtree Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Brookhaven, Georgia. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,974 feet above sea level to 23,678 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,704 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Concord, Georgia. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north west of Sasser, Georgia. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 23,998 feet above sea level to 1,417 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,581 feet.
As the aircraft approached Tallahassee Regional Airport, it began its final approach to runway 36 from the south, heading 1.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,333 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 36, which had a length of 2,139 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 123 knots. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 115 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 360 degrees. The crosswind component was 0 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 883 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,642 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KTLH Tallahassee Regional Airport, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,333 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 36, which has a length of 2,139 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 115 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 123 knots. However, this was not a significant deviation, and the touchdown speed was still considered good. The touchdown point was 52 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not a major issue given the overall performance of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a headwind of 11 knots, which was beneficial for the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was excellent, with a touchdown rate of -99 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a high degree of control and precision, and the pilot was able to maintain a stable and smooth descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
After touchdown, the aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance was 883 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a relatively short distance. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, alignment, and distance.
