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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 18 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG). The takeoff distance was 1,035 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 149 knots, with a local temperature of -10°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 180°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 4,895 feet above sea level, having ascended from 1,858 feet in just one minute. This climb covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles south of the airport and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 37 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 5,008 feet above sea level to 2,187 feet. This descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 188.0° and being 4 nautical miles from the runway at an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 113 knots and a distance of 394 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,263 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (CYWG) on runway 18. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,403 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 99.2%, indicating a high level of proficiency in the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 113 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 394 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -12°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 927 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot successfully transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase without any issues.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and proficiency in the landing procedure. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment, which may be addressed in future training or evaluation.
