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 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 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 Göteborg Landvetter Airport (ESGG). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with the aircraft taking off after covering 33% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,076 meters, and the liftoff speed was 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and winds of 20 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 16 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,532 feet above sea level to 19,783 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,251 feet in 8 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile south east of Tronninge, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile east of Glommen, with the aircraft descending from 19,669 feet above sea level to 2,857 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,812 feet in 14 minutes and covering 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise 3 miles west of Landskrona, lasting 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final descent started 3 miles south west of Barsebaeckshamn, with the aircraft descending from 2,592 feet above sea level to 1,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,282 feet in 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH), approaching from the north east at a heading of 221.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 22L, which was 3,299 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was 343 meters, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm at -391 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 9°C temperature and winds of 15 knots at 300 degrees, with a crosswind component of 15 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 129 nautical miles, taking 43 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,507 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -391 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 343 meters was within acceptable limits.
The landing distance of 1,008 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 7.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing, demonstrating good control and precision.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment with the runway centerline.
