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 3,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFKF Figari/Sud Corse. The departure roll on runway 05 covered a distance of 1,018 meters, which was 41% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots, and the local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 25°C with a 10-knot wind at 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Figari, climbing from 1,135 feet above sea level to 36,428 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 180 nautical miles and took 26 minutes. The aircraft then reached the enroute level cruise 1 mile southwest of Beuil, where it remained for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 189 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Labergement-les-Seurre, descending from 36,358 feet above sea level to 2,170 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 154 nautical miles and took 26 minutes. The landing occurred on runway 26R at LFPG Charles-de-Gaulle, which has a runway length of 3,606 meters. The height at the threshold was 28 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 132 knots. The touchdown occurred 280 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -169 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing indicated a temperature of 16°C with a 1-knot wind at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a 1-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 862 meters, which was 24% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance from takeoff to landing was 532 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 144 minutes. The aircraft used 3,955 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Congratulations on achieving an outstanding aircraft landing score of 99.8%! This is truly an exceptional performance that demonstrates your expertise and skill as a pilot.
Let's break down your landing in detail to highlight the various elements that contributed to such a high score.
During the Approach Phase, you exhibited excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth descent towards the runway. This indicates that you had precise control over the aircraft's altitude, allowing you to establish a stable approach towards the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you maintained a good threshold height, which is important for ensuring a safe touchdown. Your perfect landing flare suggests that you executed the flare maneuver flawlessly, enabling the aircraft to make a smooth transition from descent to touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was good, indicating that you managed to touch down on the runway at an appropriate speed. Additionally, your speed being on target suggests that you maintained the recommended touchdown speed throughout the landing process.
Although the touchdown point was slightly beyond the touchdown zone, it's worth noting that this did not impact your overall landing performance significantly. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position being 3.8 meters from the centerline is still within acceptable limits and does not detract from the overall quality of your landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, indicating that you successfully maintained the aircraft's trajectory along the centerline of the runway during the rollout. This demonstrates your proficiency in controlling the aircraft during the post-touchdown phase.
Overall, your landing was a testament to your skill and competence as a pilot. Your precise control, excellent technique, and attention to detail played a crucial role in achieving such a high landing score. Keep up the fantastic work and continue honing your skills to maintain this high level of performance in future flights. Well done!
