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 1,624 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,624 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 579 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with the aircraft lifting off the ground at a speed of 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,051 feet above sea level to 37,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,953 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which started 2 miles northeast of Luebeck, Germany, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 298 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile southwest of Sternenfels, Germany, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,076 feet above sea level to 5,858 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,218 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Dinhard, Switzerland, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Egg, Switzerland, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,579 feet above sea level to 2,070 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,509 feet in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a climb, which started overhead Rumlang, Switzerland, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,101 feet above sea level to 3,911 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,811 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started overhead Stadel, Switzerland, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 137.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 14, which had a length of 3,138 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 123 knots.
The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 40 degrees, with a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 557 nautical miles, which was covered in 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,969 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) with a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 14, which has a length of 3,138 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 158 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 116 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot managed to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 1,538 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment in executing the landing. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, which may be addressed in future training or evaluation exercises.
