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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,707 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,659 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of -2°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 129 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,526 feet above sea level to 22,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,480 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north of Geras, Austria, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 2 miles southeast of Krivsoudov, Czech Republic, from an altitude of 21,727 feet above sea level to 5,002 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,725 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Modletice, Czech Republic, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent overhead Drevcice, Czech Republic, from an altitude of 4,766 feet above sea level to 2,618 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,148 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was made from the north east, heading 245.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,411 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,707 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 160 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 164 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,773 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,411 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and were on track for a smooth landing. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and were aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 160°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilots, but they were able to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.
The total landing distance was 1,195 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots had executed the landing with precision and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, and the pilots were able to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground despite the challenging weather conditions. The score of 98.7% reflects the high level of skill and expertise demonstrated by the pilots during this landing.
