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 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 438 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 07 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The Airbus A320 took off after covering 57% of the 1,173-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 154 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from an 80-degree direction, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of EGGW London Luton Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,414 feet above sea level to 25,930 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. This marked the beginning of the enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile northeast of Kings Worthy in Hampshire, England, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 2 miles northeast of Lymington in Hampshire, England, and involved a decrease in altitude from 25,925 feet above sea level to 1,515 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,235 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down after covering 63% of the 1,550-meter runway. Although the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots, the touchdown distance was good at 431 meters. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -524 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a 90-degree direction, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 6 minutes. The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes, with the aircraft using 1,638 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,235 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 08, which has a length of 1,550 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. The touchdown distance of 431 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -524 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 90°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have assisted the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 981 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown conditions.
