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 1,891 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 13L at Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP). The takeoff distance was 1,218 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of -0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 179°. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. After departing from LHBP, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Vecses, Hungary. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,442 feet above sea level to 37,321 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,880 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles northwest of Sarvar, Hungary. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 98 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northwest of Oberzeiring, Austria. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 123 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,366 feet above sea level to 3,479 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,887 feet.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport (LOWI), it began its final approach to runway 26 from the east, heading 260.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,572 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at LOWI were a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 201°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters. The touchdown distance was 284 meters, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -393 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 325 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 68 minutes. The aircraft used 2,447 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) with a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,572 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 26, which has a length of 1,891 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 129 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained control and was on track to land safely. The touchdown distance of 284 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 129 knots was consistent with the threshold speed, further indicating a well-executed landing.
The touchdown rate of -393 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively without compromising safety. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 201°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,054 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to slow the aircraft down effectively without deviating from the centerline of the runway. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through a safe and successful landing.
