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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five 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 3,299 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 278 m touchdown sits inside 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), with a takeoff distance of 1,657 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Meerbusch, Germany, and climbing from an altitude of 1,121 feet above sea level to 34,990 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,869 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 171 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of Kalbe, Germany, and lasted 9 minutes, covering a distance of 69 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Gromitz, Germany, and descending from 34,993 feet above sea level to 5,070 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,924 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Malmoe, Sweden, and lasted 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Bjaerred, Sweden, and descending from 4,657 feet above sea level to 2,037 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,620 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22L at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH) was made from the northeast, heading 221.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,394 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 279 meters, a touchdown speed of 129 knots, and a touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 22 knots at 250 degrees.
The crosswind was 10 knots, and the headwind was 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,384 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 390 nautical miles, taking a total of 84 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,315 kilograms of fuel.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 96.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,394 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a safe and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 279 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft had touched down at a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating that the aircraft had touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a precise and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 22 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,384 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had touched down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the pilots may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight and level attitude during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilots demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
