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 2,897 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 196 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Gibraltar Airport, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09, and the takeoff distance was 786 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 90 degrees. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Gibraltar and reached an altitude of 16,897 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,885 feet from the initial 1,011 feet. This climb took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south east of Pujerra in Andalusia, Spain, and lasted for 6 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The descent from 16,620 feet to 3,047 feet above sea level started 1 mile south east of Humilladero, Andalusia, and took 9 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Granada-Jaén Airport was made from the west, heading 89.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,188 feet above ground level, and at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 09, which had a length of 2,897 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 125 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 191 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a 3-knot headwind at 110 degrees.
The total landing distance was 848 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.8 meters from the centreline. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 110 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes, using 1,519 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEGR F.G.L. Airport Granada-Jaén Airport, achieving a score of 93.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,188 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 2,897 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 125 knots, coming in at 123 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 191 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was fair, at -298 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than desired.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 848 meters, which is 29% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. These can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of errors.
