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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 339 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,350 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and winds of 8 knots at 209 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Kelsterbach, Germany, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,386 feet above sea level to 36,288 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,902 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Ehingen, Germany, and lasted for 69 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 518 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles northwest of Campo di Volo Oasi da Peppe Capaccio Scalo, Italy, and saw the aircraft descend from 36,555 feet above sea level to 1,331 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,224 feet in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Lamezia Terme Airport (LICA) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,290 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 28 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown distance was 339 meters, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and winds of 16 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 842 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 763 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used 4,459 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 129 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 339 meters was within acceptable limits.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some minor issues during the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 15.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 14.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve the landing performance.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, with a total landing distance of 842 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. While there were some minor issues with alignment, the aircraft's overall performance was satisfactory, and the landing was considered successful.
