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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,104 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 357 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing from the parking area to the runway took approximately 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft departed from runway 19L at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a takeoff distance of 1,971 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 196°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The enroute climb began approximately 2 miles northwest of Jessheim, Norway, and involved a vertical ascent from 483 meters above sea level to 11,176 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,693.4 meters, over a distance of 185 nautical miles. This climb phase took 26 minutes to complete.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started approximately 1 mile east of Vodskov, Denmark, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 261 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began approximately 1 mile east of Hamelhausen, Germany, and involved a vertical descent from 11,276 meters above sea level to 7,006 meters above sea level, a decrease of 4,269.9 meters, over a distance of 73 nautical miles. This descent phase took 10 minutes to complete.
The aircraft then entered a series of level cruise phases, which alternated with descent phases, as it navigated through the airspace over Germany. These phases involved a series of short climbs and descents, with the aircraft maintaining a relatively constant altitude.
The final approach to runway 23R at Düsseldorf Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 233.0° at an altitude of 400.6 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 234°.
The landing on runway 23R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 358 meters and a touchdown speed of 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.5 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 956 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The post-landing taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 686 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 123 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,027 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as A21N, successfully landed on runway 23R at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport with a high score of 98.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 400.6 meters above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots. The touchdown distance of 358 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate of -1.5 meters per second was only fair, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 234°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle the headwind was satisfactory, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance of 956 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing performance of the A21N aircraft was satisfactory, with a high score and a good level of control and precision. The favorable weather conditions and the aircraft's ability to handle the headwind contributed to a successful landing.
