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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGGD Bristol Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 1,424 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 180°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 394 meters above sea level (asl) to 1,829 meters asl, an increase of 1,434.5 meters in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The climb continued from 1,830 meters asl to 9,753 meters asl, an increase of 7,922.9 meters in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised at various altitudes, including 9,753 meters asl, 10,058 meters asl, and 9,843 meters asl, with each cruise lasting between 2 and 40 minutes and covering distances ranging from 12 to 300 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 9,843 meters asl to 1,561 meters asl, a decrease of 8,281.6 meters in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The descent continued from 1,516 meters asl to 1,340 meters asl, a decrease of 175.7 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised at various altitudes, including 1,346 meters asl and 498 meters asl, with each cruise lasting between 2 and 3 minutes and covering distances ranging from 6 to 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 297.0° at 4 nautical miles and 449.7 meters above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 457 meters and a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 310°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 990 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 569 nautical miles in 96 minutes and using 3,318 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Bilbao Airport (LEBB) with a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 297.0° at an altitude of 449.7 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,130 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly faster touchdown rate of -1.5 meters per second. The touchdown distance of 457 meters was also within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 13 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 990 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
