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 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.8° of bank in the first climb segment and 3.7° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,879 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport, EDDM. This process took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 40% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,579 meters, and the liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Munich Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,464 feet above sea level to 17,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,535 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southwest of Oberhaching, Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 17,978 feet above sea level to 4,391 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,587 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Thaining, Bavaria, Germany.
After the descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Ermatingen, Kanton Thurgau, Switzerland. This phase lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 06 at Friedrichshafen Airport, EDNY, was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 60.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 1,879 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 8°.
The total landing distance was 1,488 meters, which accounted for 79% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 145 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 43 minutes. The aircraft used 1,801 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 06, which has a length of 1,879 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 142 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -308 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 8°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,488 meters was 79% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EDNY Friedrichshafen Airport was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
