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.

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 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 467 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21R, with the aircraft lifting off after covering 67% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 2,132 meters, and the liftoff speed was 188 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of LGAV, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,303 feet above sea level to 2,922 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 2 miles northeast of Vari, Attica, Greece. The aircraft then initiated another climb phase, this time from 2,927 feet above sea level to 28,190 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,263 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. This climb phase started approximately 6 miles southwest of Palaia Fokaia, Attica, Greece.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 61 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 8 miles northwest of Koronos, South Aegean, Greece. The aircraft then initiated a descent phase, which started approximately 15 miles west of Kefalos, South Aegean, Greece. The descent took place from 27,988 feet above sea level to 2,485 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,503 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. This phase began approximately 4 miles northeast of Rodos, South Aegean, Greece. The final approach to runway 24 at Diagoras Airport (LGRP) took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 at LGRP took place with a runway length of 3,297 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 95 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,255 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 256 nautical miles, taking 67 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,474 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LGRP Diagoras Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 3,297 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -384 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have contributed to the slight overrun. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 95°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,255 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and speed.
