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 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 770 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 09L at EDDV Hannover Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,391 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Langenhagen, Lower Saxony, Germany. The climb took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,208 feet above sea level to 16,823 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Eberholzen, Lower Saxony, Germany. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Eichenzell, Hessen, Germany. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 17,361 feet to 4,843 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Gelnhausen, Hessen, Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Erlensee, Hessen, Germany. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 4,838 feet to 1,735 feet.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 354 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 127 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 4 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,372 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 176 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used 443 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 25R, achieving a score of 93.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was located 354 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both satisfactory, with a firm touchdown rate of -303 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 4°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the landing, and the aircraft handled them smoothly.
The total landing distance was 1,372 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled and the pilot executed the landing with precision. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft performed well under the given conditions. The score of 93.5% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities, and it is a testament to the effectiveness of the landing procedure.
