Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.5 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.

Side view — the last 1,871 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,871 m of the 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 423 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft, departing from London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) and landing at Paris-Orly Airport (LFPO). The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm).
As the aircraft prepared for takeoff, it rolled down runway 09R at EGLL, covering a distance of 1,040 meters, which was 31% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots (kt) and began its initial climb. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 15 kt at 129°, resulting in a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 12 kt.
The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north-west of Feltham, a town in Greater London, England. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,099 feet above sea level (asl) to 29,007 ft asl, an increase of 27,908 ft, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 83 nm.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles north-west of Vattetot-sur-Mer, a town in Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Marolles, another town in Normandie, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 28,986 ft asl to 13,012 ft asl, a decrease of 15,974 ft, in 9 minutes and covering a distance of 56 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south-east of Male, a town in Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nm. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile south-east of Charbonnieres, a town in Centre-Val de Loire, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 13,011 ft asl to 12,334 ft asl, a decrease of 677 ft, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north-west of Lanneray, a town in Centre-Val de Loire, France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nm. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 1 mile south-west of Voves, a town in Centre-Val de Loire, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 13,007 ft asl to 10,996 ft asl, a decrease of 2,011 ft, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north-east of Voise, a town in Centre-Val de Loire, France. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nm. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile south-west of Ponthevrard, a town in Ile-de-France, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from 11,008 ft asl to 2,994 ft asl, a decrease of 8,014 ft, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 35 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north-west of Ozouer-le-Voulgis, a town in Ile-de-France, France. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nm. The
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,380 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 25, which has a length of 2,883 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, coming in at 139 kt. This minor deviation from the target speed did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The touchdown distance of 423 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been able to slow down further before touching down. The touchdown rate of -297 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 13 kt from 210°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was also 9 kt, resulting in a net headwind effect.
The total landing distance of 1,789 meters was 62% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the centerline of the runway as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with only minor deviations from the target speeds and rates.
