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 rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34C at LOWG Graz Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,648 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the aircraft climbed rapidly, reaching a height of 2,146 feet above sea level in a short distance.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it reached a height of 7,575 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,429 feet in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and took place over the town of Feldkirchen bei Graz in the state of Steiermark, Austria. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place over the town of Weitendorf in the state of Steiermark, Austria.
The aircraft then began its descent from 7,551 feet above sea level to 5,028 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,524 feet in 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took place over the town of Goessendorf in the state of Steiermark, Austria. Following the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 34C at LOWG Graz Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 348.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown distance of 389 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -416 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 270 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,512 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 69 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -3,683 kilograms of fuel during the
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LOWG Graz Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 348.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,194 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34C, which has a length of 2,739 meters.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, at a speed of 140 kt. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 389 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 kt, and the touchdown rate was hard at -416 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 1,512 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. After touchdown, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the runway rollout alignment. However, the aircraft's alignment with the runway and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a safe and successful landing.
