Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.9 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.9° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.7° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in France. The takeoff distance was 1,501 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile north of Roissy-en-France and reached an altitude of 36,310 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,893 feet from the initial 1,417 feet. This climb took 26 minutes and covered 151 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northeast of Hoscheid in Luxembourg and lasted for 45 minutes, covering 310 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 4 miles southeast of Kellenhusen in Germany and took 22 minutes to descend from 35,400 feet to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,103 feet. This descent covered 107 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH) was made from the northeast, heading 221.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 347 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -430 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from 139 degrees. The crosswind was 19 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 937 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 576 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 4,648 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 347 meters was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 139°. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 134 knots was good. The total landing distance of 937 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and alignment. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target, and the touchdown rate was hard at -430 feet per minute (fpm). Despite these minor issues, the landing was considered safe and successful.
