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.
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 1,914 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The Airbus A319 took off after a takeoff distance of 949 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 23 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level to 2,938 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,888 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile north of EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile north of Gross Siemz, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,343 feet above sea level to 1,329 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,014 feet. The descent covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the east, heading 251.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around at an altitude of 518 feet above ground level. Following the go-around, the aircraft made a successful landing on runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The runway length was 1,914 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 122 knots. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 120 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 13 knots. The total landing distance was 1,098 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,321 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, achieving a score of 94.2%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 120 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 122 kt. However, the touchdown rate of -340 fpm was firm, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 16 kt from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 13 kt, which the pilots would have needed to account for during the landing. The runway length at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport is 1,914 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,098 meters, which represents 57% of the available runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots managed to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown effectively. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilots may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
