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 2,447 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 496 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 Brussels Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll took place on runway 19, with a takeoff distance of 1,425 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 319°. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the tailwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started over Zaventem, Belgium, and continued for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,185 feet above sea level to 34,393 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,208 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting over Bettelainville, France. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Grenzach-Wyhlen, Germany, and continued for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,339 feet above sea level to 18,923 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,415 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles south-east of Oberwald, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Intragna, Switzerland, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 18,514 feet above sea level to 16,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,502 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting over Maccagno, Italy. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Valganna, Italy, and continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 15,979 feet above sea level to 3,090 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,890 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting over Belgioioso, Italy. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent over Bascape, Italy, and continued for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,904 feet above sea level to 1,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,273 feet.
The final approach to runway 36 at Milano Linate Airport took place from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,447 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 131 knots, and the touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -235 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 24°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,326 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LIML Milano Linate Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 36, which has a length of 2,447 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 131 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 8 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot. The total landing distance of 1,326 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 8.3 meters. While this deviation is not significant, it may indicate a slight loss of control or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
