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 6.3 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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 19R, and the takeoff distance was 1,852 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Maersta, Stockholm County, Sweden, and the aircraft climbed from 1,138 feet above sea level to 33,880 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,742 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 30 miles south east of Stroemsbruk, Gaevleborg County, Sweden, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 415 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 35 miles south east of Setermoen, Troms og Finnmark, Norway, and the aircraft descended from 33,417 feet above sea level to 1,702 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,715 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, was made from the north, heading 193.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,665 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 362 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -6°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,267 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 618 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used 8,535 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,665 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 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 143 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment. The touchdown distance of 362 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 139 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a firm touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm). This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may have affected the overall landing quality. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have required the pilots to make some adjustments during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -6°C and a wind speed of 7 kt from 250°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 4 kt. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing, but the pilots were able to manage them effectively.
The total landing distance of 1,267 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touchdown and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 98.3% indicating a high level of proficiency.
