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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,596 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,596 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 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 to the runway at Split Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 1,621 meters, which was 68% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 22 knots at 359°. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Kastel Stafilic, Croatia, and continued to an altitude of 34,132 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,064 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 5 miles northeast of Silba, Croatia, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 249 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent from 34,420 feet above sea level to 22,074 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,346 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 44 nautical miles. This descent took place 1 mile southwest of Reutte-Höfen Airfield in Austria.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile west of Erolzheim, Germany, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles west of Blaubeuren, Germany, and continued to an altitude of 9,719 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,398 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles east of Poltringen Airfield in Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Gartringen, Germany, and continued to an altitude of 4,277 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,447 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Deckenpfronn-Egelsee Airfield in Germany, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Hildrizhausen, Germany, and continued to an altitude of 2,555 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,727 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Stuttgart Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 74.0° at an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 07, which was 3,037 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 127 knots.
The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 120 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -245 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -0°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 220°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,510 meters, which was 50% of the runway length.
The taxiing from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 n
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,319 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 07, which has a length of 3,037 meters.
The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 127 knots. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly so. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -245 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of -0°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 220°, and a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,510 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centerline, which could have been avoided with more precise control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment.
