Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,381 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN), with a takeoff distance of 1,222 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -1 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 310°.
As the aircraft climbed away from Nuremberg Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,055 feet above sea level to 19,210 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,155 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Aufsess Airport (EXBA), and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northwest of Mainleus, and took 14 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from 19,061 feet above sea level to 2,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,757 feet. The descent covered a distance of 52 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Erfurt-Weimar Airport (EDDE) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 277.0° at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 27 at EDDE was successful, with a touchdown distance of 347 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -3 °C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 300°.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 98 nautical miles, and the flight took 35 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,235 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport, achieving a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 277.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was -3°C, and the wind was blowing at 10 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 10 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 137 knots, registering at 137 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 347 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilots had maintained control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 133 kt was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown rate of -256 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The total landing distance of 1,278 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' skill and control during the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of challenging conditions. The high score of 99.6% reflects the pilots' expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
