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 2,708 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 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 Charles de Gaulle International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 09R, with a takeoff distance of 1,175 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Paris, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 90°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 12 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,367 feet above sea level to 27,266 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,899 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile north of Ormesson, lasting 11 minutes and covering 84 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Anlezy, with the aircraft descending from 27,261 feet above sea level to 2,100 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,161 feet in 18 minutes and covering 97 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 175.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,708 meters, with the threshold height slightly above target at 57 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was good at 135 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 419 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 189°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 982 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 234 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes and using 37 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving a high score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 17L, which has a length of 2,708 meters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing height. However, the threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 135 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 419 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 130 knots, the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the wind direction was 189°, which was not a significant factor in the landing. The total landing distance of 982 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was a successful and well-executed operation, with a high score of 99.5% reflecting the pilot's skill and expertise.
