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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 527 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a takeoff distance of 1,299 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Troms, Norway, and rising from an altitude of 1,009 feet above sea level to 19,894 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,885 feet, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 8 miles north of Olderdalen, Norway, and lasting for 3 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 11 miles northeast of Storslett, Norway, and descending from 20,196 feet above sea level to 19,371 feet above sea level, a decrease of 825 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 21 miles east of Storslett, Norway, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 26 miles west of ENMZ Maze Maze, Norway, and descending from 19,257 feet above sea level to 1,521 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,736 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at ENNA Lakselv Airport, Banak, was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,483 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34, which had a length of 2,596 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -276 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 27 knots from a direction of 330°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 24 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,071 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 40 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1,583 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENNA Lakselv Airport, Banak, with a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,483 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 34, which has a length of 2,596 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 148 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown rate of -276 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and winds of 27 kt from 330°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 24 kt, which the pilots would have had to take into account during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,071 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it came to a stop.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilots demonstrating good control and precision. However, there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point, which may have been due to the challenging weather conditions or the pilots' decisions during the landing.
