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 17 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 3,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 713 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 A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 46% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,383 meters, and the liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 300 degrees. The crosswind was 21 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and the aircraft ascended from 1,016 feet above sea level to 32,243 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,227 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles southwest of Marstal, Denmark, and lasted for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Midwolda, The Netherlands, and descended from 32,575 feet above sea level to 1,275 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,300 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 58.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 took place on a runway length of 3,191 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 127 knots, and the touchdown point was 294 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -277 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 20 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,178 meters, which was 37% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 351 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 76 minutes. The aircraft used 3,107 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 95.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 06, which has a length of 3,191 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 127 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown point was located 294 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 117 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was also 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,178 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance.
