Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 15 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 15 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.

Plan view — the first 1,637 m of the 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport, where the Airbus A319 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,635 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Düsseldorf Airport, rising from an initial altitude of 902 feet above sea level to 17,670 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,768 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Beesel, The Netherlands, and lasted for 59 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 5 miles southeast of Clacton-on-Sea, England, where the aircraft descended from 17,539 feet above sea level to 7,103 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,436 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off overhead Stock, England, for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. Another descent started 1 mile east of Edgware, England, where the aircraft descended from 6,071 feet above sea level to 1,358 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,713 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, heading 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27L, which is 3,345 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 382 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -282 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots at 250°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 22 knots. The total landing distance was 1,547 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, taking 66 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,934 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 96.1%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 382 meters, which was considered good.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 130 knots, coming in at 131 knots. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 8.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 24 knots from 250°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 22 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these challenges, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft and landed safely on the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,547 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 96.1%, indicating a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot.
