Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,226 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,525 feet above sea level to 33,403 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,878 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Palsboda in Örebro County, Sweden. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles northeast of Hampetorp in Örebro County, Sweden. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,930 feet above sea level to 1,397 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,533 feet.
The final approach to runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 10.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01L, which had a length of 3,282 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -207 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,463 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 220 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 46 minutes. The aircraft used 2,263 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, achieving a score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 10.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate of -207 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The landing distance of 1,463 meters, which accounts for 45% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway length of 3,282 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 6 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which made the landing even more manageable. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 01L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
