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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,209 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 22R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,604 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 320°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var, France. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,021 feet above sea level to 36,924 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,903 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 30 miles southwest of Villanova, Corsica, and lasted for 23 minutes, covering a distance of 177 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 9 miles southeast of Villasimius, Sardinia, and took 21 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,294 feet above sea level to 1,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,967 feet. The descent covered a distance of 128 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at Tunis Carthage International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 192.0° at an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 283 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 200°.
The total landing distance was 1,212 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 434 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 78 minutes. The aircraft used 2,487 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 192.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,295 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 130 kt, coming in at 126 kt. This resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -296 fpm, which is considered fair. The touchdown distance of 283 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully corrected the aircraft's trajectory during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 12 kt from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the runway centerline.
