Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 24 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,512 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,512 ft of the 11,316 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,417 ft 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 Hewanorra International Airport, Saint Lucia. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 10, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 6,029 feet, which was 71% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 9 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, and the aircraft ascended from 991 feet above sea level to 36,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,018 feet, in 19 minutes while covering 122 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 82 miles southwest of Pointe Michel, Saint Luke, Dominica, and lasted for 80 minutes, covering a distance of 1,104 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 38 miles southeast of the Ocean Cay Heliport in the Bahamas and lasted for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 36,017 feet above sea level to 1,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,719 feet, while covering 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 87.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 09 took place on a runway with a length of 11,316 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 1,414 feet. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 3 knots at 110 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 5,257 feet, which was 46% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,350 nautical miles and took 130 minutes to complete, using 16,291 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Miami International Airport (KMIA) with a score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the west, heading 87.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 11,316 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 1,414 feet, which was considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 5,257 feet, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The score of 99.3% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
