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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,360 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 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 ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 17, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,131 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots coming from a direction of 130 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Flesland and ascending from an altitude of 1,185 feet above sea level to 30,741 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,556 feet in 20 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles east of ENSF Statfjord A Helipad Stryn. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles southwest of ENLB Bjorli Airfield Bismo. The descent took place from an altitude of 30,913 feet above sea level to 1,271 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,642 feet in 19 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at ENVA Trondheim Airport, Værnes, was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90 degrees at an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,360 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 136 knots, and the touchdown distance was 188 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots coming from a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 754 meters, and the aircraft used 2,399 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing from the runway to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 252 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 53 minutes.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Trondheim Airport, Værnes, with a score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,222 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 09, which has a length of 2,360 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 136 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance of 188 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 9 knots at 110°, contributed to a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance of 754 meters, which accounts for 32% of the runway length, was satisfactory.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.9%.
