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.

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 2,492 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A320 began with a smooth taxi from the parking area to the runway at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, taking 10 minutes to cover 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 15 was efficient, with the aircraft reaching a takeoff speed of 171 kn and using 51% of the runway's length. The local weather at departure included a temperature of 8 °C and a crosswind of 18 kn.
Once airborne, the enroute climb commenced over Dawidy in Masovian Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took the aircraft from 1,374 ft asl to 24,740 ft asl, covering 68 nm in just 13 minutes. The subsequent level cruise phase started 2 miles north of Blonie in Wojewodztwo Lodzkie, Poland, lasting 7 minutes and covering 49 nm.
As the aircraft began its descent phase 2 miles southeast of Tomice in Greater Poland Voivodeship, it descended from 24,076 ft asl to 1,991 ft asl, covering 68 nm in 18 minutes. The landing at EPZG Zielona Góra-Babimost Airport was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on runway 24. The landing distance was 926 m, using 37% of the runway's length. The local weather at the destination included a temperature of 6 °C and a headwind of 15 kn.
After a short taxi from the runway to the parking area, the total flight distance was calculated to be 194 nm, taking 80 minutes in total. The flight consumed 2,264 kg of fuel during the journey.
You should be extremely proud of achieving a landing score of 91.4%! It shows that you have a strong command of your aircraft and excellent piloting skills.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was spot on, which is crucial for setting up a successful landing. This indicates that you were able to maintain the correct descent angle and altitude as you were approaching the runway.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that your threshold height was slightly above target, showing that you were able to adjust and correct as needed. Your perfect landing flare demonstrates that you were able to smoothly transition from the descent to the final touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, it's impressive that your touchdown rate was smooth, highlighting your ability to make a controlled and gentle landing. While your speed was slightly above target, this is something that can easily be adjusted with more practice. Additionally, the fact that the touchdown point was 73 m beyond the touchdown zone is a minor deviation that can be improved with more practice and experience.
During the Rollout Phase, it's worth noting that your runway alignment was slightly off at 15.4 m from the centerline. This is an area where you can focus on improving your alignment and centering on the runway.
Overall, your performance during the landing was commendable, and with continued practice and attention to detail, you can strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work!
