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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,587 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,587 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 06 at ENAL Ålesund Airport, Vigra, with a takeoff distance of 1,624 meters, which accounted for 84% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 175 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 319 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of Roald in the More og Romsdal fylke, Norway. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 128 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,085 feet above sea level to 28,456 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,371 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles south east of EN21 Wadahl Wadahl in the Innlandet, Norway. The descent took 12 minutes and covered 67 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 28,626 feet above sea level to 8,957 feet above sea level, a decrease of 19,669 feet.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles east of Hallingby in the Viken, Norway, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another descent, which started 3 miles south of Asker in the Viken, Norway. The descent took 8 minutes and covered 28 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 8,141 feet above sea level to 1,921 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,220 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, from the south, heading 16.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,240 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 01L, which had a length of 3,594 meters. The threshold height at 56 feet above ground level was slightly above target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 384 meters, but the touchdown speed at 136 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -303 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 330 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 261 nautical miles, and the flight took 57 minutes, using 2,394 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 137 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target, at 136 knots, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 384 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was also 5 knots, resulting in a relatively calm wind environment. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
Despite the good overall performance, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being misaligned by 16.3 meters from the centerline. This deviation may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 92.8%. However, the slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment and the slightly fast touchdown speed are areas for improvement.
