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 2,441 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LSZH Zürich Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 34, with the aircraft taking off after covering 42% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,348 meters, and the liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Oberglatt in the Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,399 feet above sea level to 15,510 feet, an increase of 13,111 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Elsau-Raeterschen / Elsau in the Kanton Zurich, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 175 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 755 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Heroysund in Vestland, Norway. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 15,416 feet to 12,120 feet, a decrease of 3,296 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southwest of Eikelandsosen in Vestland, Norway. This phase lasted for 98 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Eikelandsosen. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 12,120 feet to 1,457 feet, a decrease of 10,663 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Bergen Airport, Flesland, it began its final approach to runway 17 from the north, heading 171.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed safely on runway 17, which had a length of 2,441 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was 367 meters, and the touchdown speed was 112 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -445 feet per minute.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,073 meters, which was 44% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 806 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 160 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,125 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 171.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 17, which has a length of 2,441 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 118 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 367 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 112 knots was good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -445 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may be due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, and the headwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,073 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained good control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
