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 2,432 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 06 at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,068 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at an angle of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of L'Ancienne-Lorette, Quebec, Canada. The climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,270 feet above sea level to 19,847 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,577 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles northwest of Saint-Marc-des-Carrieres, Quebec, Canada. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles north of Saint-Emile-de-Suffolk, Quebec, Canada. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 19,820 feet above sea level to 4,823 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,997 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles north of Bells Corners, Ontario, Canada. This phase lasted for 8 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles northeast of CNR6 Carleton Place Airport, Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada. The descent took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,810 feet above sea level to 1,663 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,147 feet.
The final approach to runway 07 at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 57.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 2,432 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 367 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 122 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -465 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at an angle of 89 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,211 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 245 nautical miles, which was covered in 68 minutes. The aircraft used 2,336 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at CYOW Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, achieving a score of 93.6%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 57.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 367 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -465 feet per minute was hard, indicating a relatively steep descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.1 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 8.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 89°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,211 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and a relatively short total landing distance. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
