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 2,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 348 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 A321-253NX aircraft. The journey began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 06 at Shannon Airport (EINN) in Ireland.
The takeoff distance was 701 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 171 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of Shannon Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,048 feet above sea level to 30,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,954 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 77 miles southwest of Clifden Airport (EIIB) in Ireland and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and took the aircraft from 29,994 feet to 30,980 feet in 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed, lasting for 74 minutes and covering a distance of 542 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and took the aircraft from 31,063 feet to 32,987 feet in 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once again, lasting for 111 minutes and covering a distance of 685 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, which started at a specific latitude and longitude and took the aircraft from 32,998 feet to 34,472 feet in 3 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed for the final time, lasting for 62 minutes and covering a distance of 467 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another climb phase, which started near St. Andrews Codroy Valley Airport (CDA5) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and took the aircraft from 34,998 feet to 36,171 feet in 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed once more, lasting for 58 minutes and covering a distance of 449 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 24 miles southeast of Matinicus Island Airport (35ME) in Maine, United States. The descent took the aircraft from 36,000 feet to 9,963 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed briefly, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent once more, which started approximately 9 miles southeast of Rockport, Massachusetts, and took the aircraft from 9,990 feet to 4,001 feet in 8 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase resumed for the final time, lasting for 3 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started approximately 1 mile northeast of Peabody, Massachusetts, and took the aircraft from 3,565 feet to 1,314 feet in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Logan International Airport (KBOS) was made from the north, with a heading of 200.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a
The aircraft in question, an A321-253NX, successfully landed at KBOS Logan International Airport on runway 22L. The final approach was executed from the north, heading 200.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, with a score of 98.2%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 348 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown rate of -297 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's technique.
Despite the slightly subpar touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C, were also favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,386 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the landing roll. Overall, the aircraft's landing performance was impressive, with a high score and a smooth, controlled touchdown.
