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 1,552 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,552 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 333 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 EKYT Aalborg Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 08L, with a takeoff distance of 1,312 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Vadum, Denmark, where the aircraft ascended from 1,026 feet above sea level to 22,936 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,910 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles east of Logten, Denmark, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent overhead EKSS Samsø Airfield, Samsø, Denmark, where it descended from 22,913 feet above sea level to 7,478 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,435 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north of Taastrup, Denmark, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile south west of Albertslund, Denmark, where it descended from 6,842 feet above sea level to 3,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,832 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 3 miles north east of Koge, Denmark, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 6 miles east of Koge, Denmark, where it descended from 3,005 feet above sea level to 1,293 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,712 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the south west, heading 41.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 331 meters and a touchdown speed of 119 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 360°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,465 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 165 nautical miles, taking 42 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,772 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots. The touchdown distance of 331 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which the aircraft was able to handle effectively.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 10.3 meters off-centerline. This was the only notable issue during the landing, and it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the aircraft.
Overall, the Airbus A319 aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills and a high degree of control during the approach and touchdown phases. The successful landing at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
