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.
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 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 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 A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Pisa International Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 54% of the runway's length, which was 1,349 meters. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and 11-knot winds at 270°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Marina di Pisa-Tirrenia-Calambrone, Italy, and the aircraft climbed from 692 feet above sea level to 18,389 feet, an increase of 17,698 feet in 8 minutes, covering 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead San Romano in Garfagnana, Italy, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. The next enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of San Michele Tiorre, Italy, and the aircraft climbed from 18,502 feet to 39,348 feet, an increase of 20,846 feet in 16 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of Osogna, Switzerland, and lasting 60 minutes, covering 441 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Holthusen, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 38,832 feet to 32,819 feet, a decrease of 6,013 feet in 5 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Alt Bukow, Germany, and lasting 96 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The enroute descent started overhead Alt Bukow, and the aircraft descended from 32,724 feet to 1,295 feet, a decrease of 31,429 feet in 25 minutes, covering 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the 3,299-meter runway, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 128 knots. The touchdown distance was 328 meters, and the touchdown speed was 120 knots, with a firm touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 15°C temperature and 14-knot winds at 250°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The total landing distance was 910 meters, which was 28% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 761 nautical miles, taking 129 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,869 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach to runway 22L was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The aircraft demonstrated excellent control during the landing, with a good threshold height and speed of 128 knots. The touchdown distance of 328 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a moderate headwind of 13 knots. The crosswind component was relatively low at 7 knots, which made the landing even more challenging but the pilot successfully managed it. The runway length of 3,299 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 910 meters was only 28% of the runway length, indicating a very good rollout alignment. This suggests that the pilot maintained excellent control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases, ensuring a safe and efficient operation. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent handling and control characteristics.
