Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,128 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,128 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 644 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport in Sweden. The takeoff distance was 1,865 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 122°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the airport and rising from an altitude of 380 meters above sea level to 10,248 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,867.9 meters, in 19 minutes and covering 116 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 4 miles southwest of Asnaes in Denmark and lasting 36 minutes, covering 270 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Bornhagen in Germany and rising from 10,361 meters to 11,269 meters, an increase of 908.6 meters, in 3 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Friedewald in Germany and lasting 7 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting overhead Karsbach in Germany and descending from 11,281 meters to 750 meters, a decrease of 10,530.6 meters, in 20 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was made from the east, heading 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 373.1 meters above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 226 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 0.0 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 64°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,045 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 575 nautical miles, taking 96 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,826 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport with a high score of 96.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 254.0° at an altitude of 373.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was located 226 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of 0.0 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 64°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,045 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the A21N was satisfactory, with a high score and a smooth touchdown. However, the slightly misaligned touchdown point and the extended landing distance beyond the touchdown zone are areas for improvement.
