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 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The takeoff distance was 2,560 meters, which is 72% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17°C and winds of 7 knots at 99°. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Vernier, Switzerland, and continued to an altitude of 30,772 feet above sea level (asl), an increase of 28,319 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Chambles, France, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 30,980 feet asl to 15,167 feet asl, a decrease of 15,813 feet in 7 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles. This was followed by a short level cruise period overhead Martiel, France, lasting 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The descent continued from 15,155 feet asl to 7,984 feet asl, a decrease of 7,171 feet in 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. Another level cruise period started 1 mile east of Saint-Etienne-de-Tulmont, France, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The descent then began from 7,919 feet asl to 2,948 feet asl, a decrease of 4,971 feet in 5 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise period 2 miles east of Teulat, France, lasting 8 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles. The final descent started overhead Auzeville-Tolosane, France, from 2,833 feet asl to 1,785 feet asl, a decrease of 1,047 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) was made from the south east, heading 323.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 366 meters and a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C and winds of 17 knots at 300°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 944 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 288 nautical miles, taking 73 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,279 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) with a score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 323.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 17°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots coming from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 366 meters was considered good.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rate of descent was -290 feet per minute, which was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The total landing distance of 944 meters was 27% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a short distance from the threshold. The pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was considered a success.
