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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 2,440 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 292 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 03L at Gran Canaria Airport, covering 2 nm in 6 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 03L, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 1,361 m (44 % of the runway). Liftoff was achieved at 159 kt. Ambient temperature was 32 °C with wind from 020° at 28 kt, giving a 28 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind.
Climb began overhead Gran Canaria Airport, rising from 1,044 ft asl to 37,175 ft asl, an increase of 36,131 ft, in 24 minutes while covering 166 nm.
Level cruise was established 39 miles northeast of Caleta de Sebo and continued for 180 minutes, covering 1,473 nm.
Descent started 22 miles west of Ponza, descending from 37,178 ft asl to 1,656 ft asl, a loss of 35,523 ft, in 27 minutes and 141 nm.
The final approach to runway 24 at Naples International Airport was flown from the northeast on a heading of 238.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,265 ft agl.
Landing was executed on runway 24, which is 2,440 m long. The threshold speed was 133 kt. Touchdown occurred 97 m beyond the touchdown zone at 130 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 323 fpm and a lateral deviation of 9.2 m from the centreline. Local temperature was 31 °C with wind from 299° at 7 kt, providing a 3 kt headwind and 6 kt crosswind.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 1,033 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset by 9.1 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,787 nm, required 239 minutes of flight time, and consumed 9,603 kg of fuel.
The ATR 72 conducted the final approach to runway 25 at EDMA Augsburg Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 252.0° at 4 nm and 1,527 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft entered the flare with a speed of 96 kt, noted as a little below target, and a good threshold height. Touchdown occurred 137 m down the runway at 92 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 166 fpm, and the total landing distance was 592 m, representing 42 % of the 1,419 m runway. Ambient conditions were temperature 21 °C, wind 7 kt from 330°, giving a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The touchdown point was 137 m from the threshold and the aircraft touched down at 92 kt with a rate of minus 166 fpm. Runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.2 m off the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centred throughout the remaining runway length.
With a final score of 98.1 % the landing was strong; refining centreline alignment by adjusting the aim point and fine-tuning the threshold speed to meet the target will further optimise performance.
