Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.1 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.1° of bank in the first climb segment and 1° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 84 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 84 ft, 39 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 206 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,600 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,600 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 632 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 21, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 177 kt and became airborne after a take-off distance of 1,498 m, representing 46 % of the runway. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 24 kt from 240°, giving a 13 kt crosswind component and a 19 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-west of ESGG, where the flight rose from 441 m asl to 10,230 m asl, an increase of 9,789.0 m achieved in 20 minutes while covering 127 nm.
The first cruise segment began 10 miles south of EKSS Samsø Airfield and continued for 92 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 648 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile west of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, with the aircraft descending from 10,232 m asl to 8,739 m asl, a loss of 1,493.0 m in 3 minutes over a distance of 24 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Sainte-Eulalie-en-Royans, lasting 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The second descent began 2 miles east of Peyrus, where the aircraft dropped from 8,822 m asl to 392 m asl, a decrease of 8,429.8 m in 19 minutes while traversing 85 nm.
On final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport, the aircraft approached from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 4 nm and 384.4 m agl.
Landing on runway 13L was executed with a touchdown speed of 143 kt at a point 216 m beyond the touchdown zone; the touchdown rate was minus 1.7 m/s and the aircraft was offset 4.8 m from the centreline. The runway length is 3,373 m, the threshold height is 24.5 m agl, and the threshold speed was 144 kt. Total landing distance recorded was 1,518 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 903 nm, lasted 147 minutes, and consumed 6,225 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl; the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At the threshold the aircraft was 101 ft agl, a height that was excessively over the target, while the threshold speed of 140 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 176 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 137 kt, noted as a little fast, and a firm vertical rate of minus 372 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,742 m, representing 52 % of the 3,373 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
To refine future landings, reduce the threshold height to meet the target and adjust the flare to place the touchdown point within the designated zone, while moderating speed toward the reference value.
