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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 152 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 528 m past the threshold — beyond 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 EGGD Bristol Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,201 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 23 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Winford, North Somerset, England, and the aircraft climbed from 1,556 feet above sea level to 6,036 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,480 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Keynsham, Bath and North East Somerset, England, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 5,999 feet above sea level to 27,544 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,545 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Forden, Sir Powys, Wales, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 28,000 feet above sea level to 28,712 feet above sea level, an increase of 711 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it encountered various weather conditions and navigated through different altitudes. The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Cumwhinton, Cumbria, England, and the aircraft descended from 28,523 feet above sea level to 28,001 feet above sea level, a decrease of 523 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of Longtown, Cumbria, England, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 28,268 feet above sea level to 28,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 730 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 45 miles east of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and lasted for 105 minutes, covering a distance of 787 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles west of Fjelldal, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, and descended from 29,005 feet above sea level to 4,997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,008 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles north of Ersfjord, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 11 miles west of Hansnes, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, and descended from 5,008 feet above sea level to 1,942 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,065 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the north, heading 193.0
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 94.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,870 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. The touchdown point was 105 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -103 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,313 meters, which is 66% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired performance. The aircraft's score of 94.0% indicates that the landing was generally good, but there is room for improvement in terms of speed and alignment.
