Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 460 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at John F Kennedy International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,232 meters, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of Edgemere, New York, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,048 feet above sea level to 39,682 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,634 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 231 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles northwest of Culpeper, Virginia, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 315 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 6 miles southwest of Oolenoy Valley Airport in South Carolina and saw the aircraft descend from 39,422 feet above sea level to 2,298 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,125 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the 2,738-meter runway, with the threshold height being slightly above the target. The threshold speed was good at 136 knots, while the touchdown distance was also good at 461 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 32°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 994 meters, which was 36% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 660 nautical miles, taking 82 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,760 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 26R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 461 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The total landing distance of 994 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 99.6%.
