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 2,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EKYT Aalborg Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 1,065 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 18 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EKYT Aalborg Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,023 feet above sea level to 36,311 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,287 feet in just 8 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Holzdorf, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 327 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles southwest of Parsberg, Germany, descending from 36,571 feet above sea level to 17,119 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,452 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Campitello di Fassa, Italy, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 219 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles south of Parrano, Italy, descending from 17,178 feet above sea level to 1,275 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,903 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the east, heading 252.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 25, which has a length of 2,882 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 122 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 415 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 118 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -297 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,153 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 920 nautical miles, taking a total of 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,138 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 25, which has a length of 2,882 meters.
The threshold height at 58 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 122 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was good. However, the touchdown rate of -297 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the aircraft benefited from a 14-knot headwind, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,153 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was a success, and the high score reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and efficient landing.
