Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.5 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,699 m of the 3,371 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 458 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 34L at KSLC, a movement that lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 34L, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 2,008 m, representing 55 % of the runway, and rotated at 155 kt; ambient temperature was 20 °C with wind 11 kt from 279°, a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile north-west of KSLC, with the flight ascending from 5,258 ft asl to 34,008 ft asl, an increase of 28,749 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 121 nm.
The first level cruise began 5 miles east of 48VE DOCILF Ventosa, persisted for 46 minutes and spanned 360 nm.
Descent started 3 miles south of Dunnigan, descending from 33,984 ft asl to 11,606 ft asl, a loss of 22,378 ft in 13 minutes over a distance of 82 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed, initiating 3 miles north-west of Daly City, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The next descent began overhead South San Francisco, dropping from 11,012 ft asl to 1,284 ft asl, a decrease of 9,727 ft completed in 10 minutes across 37 nm.
Final approach to runway 28L at KSFO involved a descent from 1,309 ft agl to 113 ft agl in 99 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 28L at KSFO was executed on a runway 3,371 m long; the threshold speed was 138 kt, touchdown occurred at 458 m down the runway with a speed of 134 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 156 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect; ambient temperature was 24 °C and the total landing distance recorded was 1,609 m, representing 48 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 616 nm, took 98 (units as provided), and consumed 3,632 kg of fuel.
