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.

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 2,991 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 202 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Chicago Midway International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 04L, with a takeoff distance of 1,008 meters, which was 85% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 110 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,605 feet above sea level to 35,686 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,080 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. This enroute climb started overhead West Elsdon, Illinois.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of the 33IL John Scharff Airport Clinton in Illinois. This phase lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 451 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 36,637 feet above sea level to 3,917 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,720 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. This enroute descent started 2 miles east of Okemah, Oklahoma.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of the 80OK Flying S Ranch Airport Reydon in Oklahoma. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 35R at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport from the south, heading 360.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,991 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 202 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -604 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 23 knots at 350 degrees, with a crosswind component of 4 knots and a headwind component of 23 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 644 nautical miles, taking 129 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,605 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 35R at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport, achieving a score of 90.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,226 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,991 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
During the landing, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 143 knots, reaching 144 knots. The touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 202 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -604 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of deceleration, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the heavy touchdown rate. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 23 knots at 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 23 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,106 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
