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 2,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Airbus A319 began with a smooth taxi to runway 34R at KSLC Salt Lake City Intl, covering a distance of 2 nm in just 8 minutes. The departure roll on runway 34R was swift, with a takeoff distance of 2,494 m, covering 68% of the runway before lifting off at a speed of 162 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a 6 kn wind at 270°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and headwind.
During the enroute climb, the aircraft steadily ascended from 5,266 ft to 38,180 ft, covering a distance of 121 nm in 12 minutes. The climb concluded 13 miles south of Dutch John, Utah. Subsequently, the enroute level cruise commenced, covering 784 nm in 51 minutes before reaching Prairie Home, Missouri. The descent phase of the flight began 8 miles west of Columbia Regional Airport, descending from 37,635 ft to 4,535 ft over a distance of 101 nm in just 10 minutes, concluding near Bella Villa, Missouri.
After a brief level cruise, the descent continued 1 mile north east of Cahokia, Illinois, reducing the altitude from 4,285 ft to 2,337 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 7 nm, finishing near Pine Lawn, Missouri. The landing on runway 30R at KSTL Lambert-St Louis Intl was smooth, covering a distance of 391 m from the threshold to touchdown at a speed of 128 kn. The aircraft touched down with a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) reading of -339 ft/m, showcasing a controlled and precise landing under the local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a 4 kn wind at 300°.
The landing rollout on runway 30R at KSTL Lambert-St Louis Intl spanned over 1,009 m, with a total landing distance of 1,437 m, accounting for 52% of the runway length. The flight concluded with a short 2-minute taxi to the parking area, located just less than 1 nm from the runway. The total flight distance covered was 1,027 nm, with the aircraft consuming 5,756 kg of fuel over the 95 minutes of travel time.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 98.7%! This is an outstanding result that reflects the high level of skill and precision demonstrated during the different phases of the aircraft landing.
During the Approach Phase, you maintained excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. This indicates a strong ability to accurately judge and adjust the aircraft's altitude to meet the desired flight path.
In the Landing Phase, your performance was equally impressive. The good threshold height suggests that you approached the runway at the correct altitude, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing flare. Your execution of the landing flare was very good, demonstrating a solid understanding of how to control the aircraft during the critical moments before touchdown.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was hard, indicating a firm landing, which can sometimes be necessary to ensure a safe and secure touchdown. Additionally, your speed was on target, further highlighting your ability to control the aircraft's velocity during the landing process. The fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was very good speaks to your precision in aligning the aircraft with the runway and touching down at the correct point.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, showcasing your proficiency in maintaining the aircraft's trajectory down the runway after touchdown. This is important for ensuring a smooth and controlled deceleration and rollout to a complete stop.
Overall, your performance throughout the landing process was exemplary, with strengths in glideslope alignment, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown precision, and rollout alignment. Keep up the excellent work and continue to hone your skills to achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Great job!
