Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 11 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5.4° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.5° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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 1,651 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,651 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 535 m past the threshold — beyond 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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,686 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -7°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 110°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Göteborg Landvetter Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,543 feet above sea level to 28,198 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,655 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south of Odensbacken, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 6 miles south of Arboga, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 28,026 feet above sea level to 1,391 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,635 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01L at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading at 10.0° and at an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 01L, with a runway length of 3,282 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, and the touchdown point was 115 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 70°.
The total landing distance was 1,567 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, taking 48 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,135 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -1°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 70°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 01L, which has a length of 3,282 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 140 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 115 meters. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was a bit faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -141 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions, including a 5-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind, posed a moderate challenge to the pilot. Nevertheless, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision and control. The total landing distance of 1,567 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.5%. The pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions and execute a smooth touchdown and rollout is a testament to their expertise and training.
