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 1,578 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,578 m of the 2,618 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 623 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 area to the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 35R at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport, Oklahoma City, with a takeoff distance of 1,441 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 20°C and winds of 19 knots at 320°. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of KOKC Will Rogers World Airport and continued for 15 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,298 feet above sea level to 30,551 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,253 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Butler, Oklahoma. This phase lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 280 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Cimarron, New Mexico, and descending from 30,179 feet above sea level to 20,063 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Eagle Nest, New Mexico, and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent phase began again, this time starting 4 miles southeast of Red River, New Mexico, and descending from 18,923 feet above sea level to 10,909 feet above sea level in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which started 11 miles west of NM03 K-D Field Dexter, New Mexico, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 8 miles west of NM03 K-D Field Dexter, and the aircraft descended from 10,890 feet above sea level to 8,207 feet above sea level in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 13 at KSKX Taos Regional Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 138.0° at an altitude of 1,124 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 13, which had a length of 2,618 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 212 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -204 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C and winds of 10 knots at 241°, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,501 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 436 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 3,727 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KSKX Taos Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 138.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,124 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 13, which has a length of 2,618 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 212 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll. The touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a relatively smooth descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 241°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 57% of the runway length. The total landing distance was 1,501 meters, which is a reasonable distance given the aircraft's size and the runway length.
