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 466 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 25, with a takeoff distance of 842 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and wind blowing at 19 knots from a direction of 290 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,110 feet above sea level to 2,870 feet, an increase of 1,760 feet, in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Lübeck, Germany, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of Gross Siemz, Germany, and descending from an altitude of 2,331 feet to 1,334 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0 ° at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 465 meters, which was 43% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 106 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -296 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 8 °C and wind blowing at 19 knots from a direction of 290 °. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.3 meters. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total landing distance was 815 meters.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 693 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 8°C, with a wind speed of 19 kt blowing from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 15 kt, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 119 kt, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 106 kt, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -296 fpm, indicating a slightly longer than ideal descent. The touchdown distance of 465 m was good, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 5.3 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance of 815 m was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
