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.

Plan view — the first 1,537 m of the 2,977 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 04L, and the takeoff distance was 2,120 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,100 feet above sea level to 36,431 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,331 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles south of Ain Sukhna, Egypt, and lasted for 204 minutes, covering a distance of 1,373 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile east of Fivizzano, Italy, where the aircraft descended from 35,200 feet above sea level to 1,985 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,216 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport was made from the south, heading 349.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,247 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,977 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 429 meters, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 137 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport were 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,457 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 1,624 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 261 minutes. The aircraft used 11,103 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 35R at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 349.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot decision-making. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 429 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 137 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -318 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially lead to a bumpy ride for passengers, but in this case, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which helped to mitigate any potential issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,457 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the slightly above-target threshold speed and firm touchdown rate may have been areas for improvement.
