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 1,437 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,437 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 54 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 36 at LIMF Turin Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,327 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 292°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead San Maurizio in Piemonte, Italy. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 48 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,976 feet above sea level to 36,922 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,946 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 3 miles south of Saint-Martin-de-Belleville in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This cruise phase lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, which started overhead Solaize in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,494 feet above sea level to 36,743 feet above sea level, a decrease of 751 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Valfleury in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. This cruise phase lasted 23 minutes and covered a distance of 165 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, which started 2 miles north of Saint-Porquier in Occitanie, France. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,631 feet above sea level to 1,440 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,192 feet.
The final approach to runway 22 at LESO San Sebastián Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 219.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,420 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 1,437 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was a little below the target at 120 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 52 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 119 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -922 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. 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 440 nautical miles, and the flight took 88 minutes. The aircraft used 3,006 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LESO San Sebastián Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.2%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 219.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,420 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was executed within the designated parameters, with a good threshold height and a touchdown speed that was slightly below the target at 120 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 52 meters and a touchdown speed of 119 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat heavy, at -922 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centreline, which could have implications for the aircraft's subsequent rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions were likely to have had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance, given the relatively low wind speeds.
The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for approximately 52% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, although the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, the Airbus A319 performed satisfactorily, and the crew's skills and experience were likely instrumental in ensuring a safe and successful touchdown.
