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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 35 at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,255 meters, which was 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,824 feet above sea level to 36,454 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,630 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 185 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles northwest of Euclid, Ohio, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 211 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles southwest of Allenwood, Pennsylvania, and descended from 36,301 feet above sea level to 2,936 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,365 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of New York City, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Lodi, New Jersey, and descended from 2,536 feet above sea level to 1,340 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,196 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 122.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,131 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 442 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 32 knots at a direction of 110 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 32 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which was 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 558 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 98 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 4,306 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 13, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 122.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's distance was 442 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 32 kt from 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 32 kt, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,054 meters was 49% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and ensured a safe and stable stop.
Overall, the landing was executed with high precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.8%. The pilots demonstrated excellent skills and decision-making during the approach and landing phases, ensuring a safe and successful touchdown at LaGuardia Airport's runway 13.
