Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 17 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 7.1° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 31 at Haugesund Airport, Karmøy, with a takeoff distance of 1,155 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Visnes in Rogaland Fylke, Norway. The climb took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 100 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,047 feet above sea level to 25,292 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent, starting 15 miles northwest of Rjukan in Vestfold og Telemark, Norway. The descent took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 25,123 feet to 9,587 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile southwest of Honefoss in Viken, Norway, and lasting for 6 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 2 miles south of Asker in Viken, Norway. The descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 27 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 9,218 feet to 1,932 feet. The final approach to runway 01L at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen was made from the south, with a heading of 16.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 01L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 378 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -342 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots coming from a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 11 knots.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 216 nautical miles, and the flight took 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,307 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 01L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a score of 93.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 16.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,250 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 137 knots, which was slightly above the target speed.
The touchdown distance of 378 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -342 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had a clear understanding of the aircraft's position and orientation during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 933 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control of the aircraft to bring it to a stop within a reasonable distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 11.5 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional stability. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the Airbus A320 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.9% indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
