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 1,887 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,887 m of the 2,695 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 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 EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, and the takeoff distance was 1,507 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 4 miles southwest of Dragor in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took place from an altitude of 844 feet above sea level to 13,847 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,003 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Slangerup in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Frederiksvaerk in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The descent took place from an altitude of 13,784 feet above sea level to 1,926 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,858 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 8 miles northeast of Ebeltoft in Region Midtjylland, Denmark. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 28L at EKAH Aarhus Airport took place from the east, heading 280.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,160 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28L at EKAH Aarhus Airport was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 241 meters, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -405 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 characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 259 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,802 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 88 nautical miles, and the flight took 29 minutes. The aircraft used 1,191 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EKAH Aarhus Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 280.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,160 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 28L, which has a length of 2,695 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 127 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance of 241 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was good.
However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard, coming in at -405 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate a slight overcorrection by the pilot, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 259°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,802 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment. The high score of 98.0% reflects the aircraft's precise approach and landing, as well as the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions.
