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 7.5 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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,383 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 300°. This resulted in a crosswind of 19 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby in Region Hovedstaden, Denmark. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,033 feet above sea level to 30,667 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,634 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of Putbus in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 50 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Strasburg in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 30,712 feet above sea level to 1,439 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,272 feet.
The final approach to runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 249.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24R, which has a length of 2,993 meters. The threshold height at 58 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,128 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 204 nautical miles, taking a total of 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,245 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 24R, achieving a score of 93.5%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold speed were both within acceptable limits, with a speed of 131 knots at the threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 114 knots, which was also within the desired range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly higher than ideal, at -274 feet per minute (fpm), which could be considered fair. The touchdown point was located 230 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overextension of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off, with a misalignment of 8.3 meters at touchdown and 8.9 meters during the rollout.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,128 meters, which accounted for approximately 38% of the runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have benefited from a slightly shorter landing distance to optimize runway usage. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown parameters.
