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 4.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3.5° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.4° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 38 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 38 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 38 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 2,643 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 30 at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,048 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 144 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Tarnby, Denmark, and ascended from an altitude of 1,016 feet above sea level to 17,658 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,642 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles south east of Frederiksvaerk, Denmark, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 12 miles north of EK64 Hesselø Airstrip, Denmark, and descended from 17,915 feet above sea level to 1,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,618 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at EKYT Aalborg Airport was made from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which has a length of 2,643 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also good at -166 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total landing distance was 999 meters, which is 38% of the runway length.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 131 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 1,586 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EKYT Aalborg Airport, achieving a high score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,278 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 26R, which has a length of 2,643 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 126 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 122 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute (fpm) was also satisfactory. This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 280°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 22 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 999 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft landed with a reasonable amount of runway remaining.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the high score of 94.8% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.
