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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 626 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 to the runway at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with a takeoff distance of 1,219 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 219°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 21 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Vernier, Switzerland, where the aircraft climbed from 2,419 feet above sea level to 6,864 feet, an increase of 4,446 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Pougny, France, and lasting 4 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began another climb phase, this time from 6,869 feet to 22,302 feet, an increase of 15,433 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a descent phase, starting overhead Fretterans, France, and descending from 22,338 feet to 20,858 feet, a decrease of 1,480 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Gerland, France, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb, starting overhead Agey, France, and climbing from 20,333 feet to 34,321 feet, an increase of 13,988 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Neuvy-Sautour, France, and lasting 16 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
However, this was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile east of Bonneuil-les-Eaux, France, and descending from 34,758 feet to 2,808 feet, a decrease of 31,949 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 139 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, starting overhead Brixton, England, and lasting 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport took place from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with a touchdown point 206 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,146 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 421 nautical miles, taking 91 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,367 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 206 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway and maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,146 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 94.5% reflects the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and maintain a safe and controlled landing.
