Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 7.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 539 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 18 at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola, in Norway. The takeoff distance was 1,168 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 129 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 170 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,039 feet above sea level to 34,310 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 6 miles southwest of Farso, Denmark. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles east of Bjerringbro, Denmark. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,346 feet to 3,046 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile west of Haeljarp, Sweden. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile west of Barsebaeckshamn, Sweden. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,038 feet to 1,298 feet.
The final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which had a length of 3,299 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -170 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 189 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,073 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 325 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 65 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2,790 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate of -170 feet per minute (fpm) was still within the acceptable range, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was controlled and smooth.
The landing distance of 1,073 meters, which accounts for 33% of the runway length, is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot executed a well-planned and executed landing, taking into account the wind conditions and the aircraft's performance characteristics.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 189°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. Despite these wind conditions, the pilot managed to maintain perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment, demonstrating excellent piloting skills.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's performance was commendable. The high score of 98.7% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently, even in challenging weather conditions.
