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 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 488 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 19R, with a takeoff distance of 1,261 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 200°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, 1 mile south of Gardermoen, and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,752 feet above sea level to 27,918 feet, an increase of 26,167 feet.
The enroute descent began 11 miles northwest of Dalen, in Vestfold og Telemark, Norway. The aircraft descended from 27,751 feet to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,446 feet, in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola, was made from the north, heading 179.0°, at an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown point 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 170°, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 882 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 189 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 2,116 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENZV Stavanger Airport, Sola, with a score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 18, which has a length of 2,494 meters. The threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 134 knots, indicating that the pilot had properly configured the aircraft for landing. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 129 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly late or not enough.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a headwind of 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing easier.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which further contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance was 882 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had properly configured the aircraft for landing and had executed the approach and landing phases smoothly.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's performance was exemplary.
