Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.3 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 615 m past the threshold — beyond 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 35L at LIMC Milan Malpensa International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,947 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 32°C and winds of 8 knots at 209°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the tailwind was 6 knots. After departing from Milan, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Somma Lombardo, Italy. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,800 feet above sea level to 18,596 feet.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bottanuco, Italy, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile west of Terres, Italy. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 18,651 feet to 38,869 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile southwest of Gauting, Germany, and lasted for 58 minutes, covering a distance of 330 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Friedrichsruhe, Germany. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 38,576 feet to 1,287 feet.
The final approach to runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 221.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,265 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22L, which was 3,299 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -347 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 22°C and winds of 21 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 682 nautical miles, and the flight took 124 minutes. The aircraft used 4,755 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach to runway 22L was initiated from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -347 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft maintained a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations suggest that the aircraft may have been slightly off-center during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a controlled rollout. However, the minor deviations from the centerline during the landing roll may indicate a need for further training or adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
