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 1,830 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,830 m of the 2,511 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 816 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LEMI Región de Murcia International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, and the takeoff distance was 1,647 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 35°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb began overhead LEMP Los Martínez Del Puerto Airfield in Murcia, Spain, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,625 feet above sea level to 36,734 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,109 feet in 21 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 139 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of Santa Eularia des Riu in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and lasted for 96 minutes, covering a distance of 719 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles south of LDZU Udbina Air Base in Udbina, Croatia, and the aircraft descended from 36,162 feet above sea level to 1,625 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,537 feet in 19 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 69 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at LQBK Banja Luka International Airport was made from the south, heading 350.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,228 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 34, which has a length of 2,511 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 395 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -200 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 321 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,744 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 935 nautical miles and took 151 minutes. The aircraft used 6,060 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Banja Luka International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 350.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,228 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 34, which has a length of 2,511 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -200 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The touchdown point was 395 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 321°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,744 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and safety, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a short distance from the runway threshold. The high score of 94.6% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a safe and efficient landing.
