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 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 346 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 A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17, with a takeoff distance of 1,159 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 179 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from Bergen, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,219 feet above sea level to 33,651 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 7 miles east of Roldal, Norway. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Stavern, Norway. The descent took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,018 feet to 1,792 feet.
As the aircraft approached its destination, ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, it began its final approach to runway 21 from the northeast, heading 206.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 347 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, and the touchdown rate was -410 feet per minute, which was considered hard.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 276 nautical miles and took 65 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,297 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 3,287 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 347 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown rate was hard at -410 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was touching down slightly too aggressively. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 250°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 5 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing. The total landing distance of 1,159 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control during the approach and landing phases. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown rate and improving the runway touchdown position alignment.
