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 1,876 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,876 m of the 3,509 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 27R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,522 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 309 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,017 feet above sea level to 37,202 feet, an increase of 35,186 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Canon, Georgia, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 272 nautical miles. The descent started 1 mile north of Drakes Branch, Virginia, and the aircraft descended from 36,721 feet to 1,584 feet, a decrease of 35,137 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01R at Washington Dulles International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with a threshold speed of 117 knots and a touchdown speed of 111 knots. The touchdown distance was 343 meters, and the touchdown rate was -422 feet per minute, which was considered hard.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,789 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.0 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 483 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,359 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 01R at KIAD Washington Dulles International Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 1.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on the runway with a threshold height that met the required standards.
The threshold speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 343 meters was also satisfactory, signifying that the pilot had maintained control and precision during the landing. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 111 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown rate of -422 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating that the pilot may have applied excessive braking or reverse thrust during the landing. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 250°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing, demonstrating good control and precision.
Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the aircraft achieving a score of 89.7%. While there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and landing, ultimately bringing the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway.
