Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m 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 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,443 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 378 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Flight details begin with the aircraft's taxiing process, a 9-minute journey from the parking lot to the runway at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL) covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 departed from runway 24R, where it managed to achieve liftoff within 1,381 meters, which is approximately 47% of the runway, at a speed of 165 kt.
The local weather for the departure was characterized by a temperature of 28 °C, a wind speed of 12 kt blowing at 139 ° (with crosswind of 11 kt and tailwind of 3 kt). After departure, the aircraft began its initial ascent above LEBL Airport, a climb that started at 1,050 feet above sea level and increased to a substantial height of 39,783 feet in just 23 minutes, covering a distance of 236 nautical miles. This initial ascent phase was the first of several notable phases in the flight.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered its cruise phase, a steady state of flight that lasted for 22 minutes. During this period, the aircraft flew at a consistent altitude, covering a distance of approximately 300 nautical miles, and traversed westward from Fertilia in Italy.
As the flight continued, the aircraft entered its descent phase from a height of 39,555 feet above sea level down to 1,391 feet, a substantial decrease of 38,164 feet achieved in just 22 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. This was followed by a final approach to runway 07 at Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport (LIBD), approaching from the southwest at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,237 feet above ground level.
Upon reaching LIBD, the Airbus A320 successfully executed a safe landing using a threshold speed of 122 kt and touchdown speed of 114 kt. The touchdown distance was a relatively short 377 meters, and the aircraft landed within the designated runway boundary, but with runway touchdown position slightly misaligned, deviating 3.4 meters from the centerline. During landing, the aircraft was affected by local weather conditions of 28 °C temperature and a 13 kt wind speed at 359 ° (with a crosswind of 12 kt and headwind of 5 kt).
In conclusion, the final stages of the flight saw the aircraft landing safely on runway 07, covering a total landing distance of 1,042 meters and consuming a significant amount of fuel. Taxiing to the parking lot from the runway completed the flight, taking just 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight lasted 79 minutes, covering a total distance of 672 nautical miles and using 4,570 kilograms of fuel.
An Airbus A320 safely landed on runway 07 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, achieving an impressive score of 99.2%. The final approach to the runway was conducted from a southwest direction, heading 69.0° at a range of 4 nautical miles with an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway with a good threshold height, reaching a threshold speed of 122 knots. The touchdown distance of 377 meters was also satisfactory, as was the touchdown speed of 114 knots. However, the touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute was only considered fair, indicating that the pilot could have managed a smoother descent.
Another notable aspect of the landing was the slightly misaligned touchdown position, with the aircraft deviating 3.4 meters off the centerline. Despite this minor issue, the runway rollout alignment was rated as very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 28°C and winds of 13 knots from 359°, with a resulting crosswind of 12 knots and headwind of 5 knots. These conditions would have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they do not appear to have had a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
In conclusion, the Airbus A320 achieved a nearly flawless landing on runway 07 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, with only minor areas for improvement. The aircraft touched down smoothly, maintained good control throughout the roll-out, and aligned itself properly with the runway centerline, all within a satisfactory distance of approximately 43% of the available runway length.
