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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,784 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,784 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 617 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 22 at LTCP Adıyaman Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,622 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 138 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of LTCP Adıyaman Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 2,955 feet above sea level to 37,410 feet, an increase of 34,456 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles north of Andirin, Turkey, and lasted for 44 minutes, covering a distance of 315 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 12 miles northeast of Akyazi, Turkey, and descended from 37,311 feet to 11,391 feet, a decrease of 25,920 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 17 miles north of Umraniye, Turkey, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 29 miles north of Sile, Turkey, and the aircraft descended from 10,961 feet to 5,208 feet, a decrease of 5,753 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 21 miles north of LTFM İstanbul Airport, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 16 miles north of LTFM İstanbul Airport, and the aircraft descended from 4,971 feet to 1,484 feet, a decrease of 3,487 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17L at LTFM İstanbul Airport was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 17L, which had a length of 4,065 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 196 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 107 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,698 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 560 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 112 minutes. The aircraft used 4,383 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LTFM İstanbul Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 17L was initiated from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 133 kt, which is a common occurrence due to the aircraft's momentum and the effects of air resistance. The touchdown point was located 196 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed of 123 kt. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -130 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may be due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°C and a wind speed of 6 kt at 107°. The crosswind component was 6 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,698 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to the aircraft's momentum or the effects of the wind.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at LTFM İstanbul Airport, with a score of 95.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the aircraft's performance was generally smooth and controlled, indicating a high level of pilot skill and aircraft handling.
