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 480 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 EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 45% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,339 meters, and the liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was 21 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The enroute climb began 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and saw the aircraft ascend from an altitude of 1,026 feet above sea level to 18,865 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,839 feet in just 7 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 27 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Helsinge, Denmark. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 31 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 18 miles west of Torekov, Sweden, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 18,850 feet above sea level to 1,767 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,083 feet in 17 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 26.0° at an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 03, which had a length of 3,287 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being 118 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 6°C temperature and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 20°, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 21 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,156 meters, which was 35% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 130 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,539 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,267 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 03, which has a length of 3,287 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. The touchdown point was 55 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe and controlled speed.
However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A more ideal touchdown rate would be closer to -150 to -200 fpm, which would indicate a smoother and more controlled descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 20°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 21 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain a very good runway rollout alignment, indicating a high level of control and precision during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,156 meters, which is 35% 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 in a relatively short distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing.
