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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 370 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 25R at KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,770 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles southwest of KDAB Daytona Beach International Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,055 feet above sea level to 19,695 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,640 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 34 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Flagler Estates, Florida, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 4 miles southwest of Palm Valley, Florida, where it climbed from 19,689 feet above sea level to 38,867 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,178 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles northeast of KAYS Waycross Ware County Airport, Waycross, Georgia, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 46 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 7 miles southwest of Scotland, Georgia, where it descended from 38,595 feet above sea level to 4,041 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,555 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started another enroute descent 2 miles northeast of 89GA Hilltop Fairburn, Georgia, where it descended from 3,743 feet above sea level to 2,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,424 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was from the west, with a heading of 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 09R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 372 meters. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -373 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 130 degrees, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,261 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 347 nautical miles, which was covered in 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,836 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 09R, achieving a score of 92.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 372 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing process. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -373 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues during the landing. The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which is relatively minor and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,261 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the rollout path.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the process. However, there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the landing performance.
