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.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,033 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 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 18 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 1,600 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200°.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,371 feet above sea level (asl) to 3,739 ft asl, an increase of 2,368 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, which started 1 mile north of Gross-Gerau, Hessen, Germany.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 4,062 ft asl to 8,904 ft asl, an increase of 4,843 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile east of Nierstein, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles, which started overhead Nieder-Olm, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.
The next significant climb phase began 1 mile south-west of Wiesbaden, Hessen, Germany, and took the aircraft from 9,109 ft asl to 24,110 ft asl, an increase of 15,001 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. This was followed by a level cruise phase, lasting 7 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles, which started 1 mile south of Frankenberg, Hessen, Germany.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from 24,121 ft asl to 4,013 ft asl, a decrease of 20,108 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. This descent phase started 1 mile south-west of Luegde, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles, which started 2 miles west of Riede, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The final descent phase began overhead Kirchseelte, Lower Saxony, Germany, and took the aircraft from 4,013 ft asl to 3,445 ft asl, a decrease of 568 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, which started 1 mile west of Prinzhofte, Lower Saxony, Germany.
The final descent phase began overhead Ganderkesee, Lower Saxony, Germany, and took the aircraft from 2,925 ft asl to 1,297 ft asl, a decrease of 1,628 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09 at Bremen Airport (EDDW), heading 88.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing on runway 09 at EDDW was successful, with a touchdown point 121 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDW Bremen Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 2,033 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 121 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the tailwind component was a negligible 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to come to a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases.
