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 1,683 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,683 m of the 3,051 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KYNG Youngstown Warren Regional Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 23, and the takeoff distance was 928 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 27 knots coming from a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 26 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of Vienna Center, Ohio. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,134 feet above sea level to 16,924 feet, an increase of 14,790 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Hiram, Ohio, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 17,693 feet to 21,130 feet, an increase of 3,437 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase started 2 miles west of Macedonia, Ohio, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent, starting 3 miles southwest of Ashland, Ohio. During this descent, the aircraft dropped from an altitude of 20,709 feet to 1,840 feet, a decrease of 18,869 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23R at KLCK Rickenbacker International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 225.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 23R, which had a length of 3,051 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 128 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -268 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots coming from a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 1,597 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centerline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 152 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 1,655 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23R at KLCK Rickenbacker International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,090 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 knots. The touchdown point was located 128 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also a bit faster than the desired speed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -268 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair.
The landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,597 meters, accounting for 52% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 260°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was again found to be misaligned by 20.9 meters. This deviation from the intended path suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the Airbus A319 was satisfactory, with a score of 88.6% indicating a good level of proficiency in landing the aircraft safely and efficiently.
