Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 449 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, with the takeoff distance covering 61% of the runway's length, which is 1,160 meters.
During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 140 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Gross Gronau, a town located in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The climb began at an altitude of 1,048 feet above sea level and increased to 2,907 feet above sea level, a rise of 1,859 feet, in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Hamberge, another town in Schleswig-Holstein. This cruise phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 07 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The approach was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 72.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 4 nautical miles away from the runway at this point.
The landing on runway 07 was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 120 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -272 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline by 20.6 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 20 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 12 nautical miles and took approximately 13 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 593 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, achieving a score of 95.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 72.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 1,914 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 122 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 450 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing parameters. The touchdown rate of -272 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting a moderate rate of descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, deviating by 20.6 meters from the centerline. This discrepancy may be attributed to factors such as wind conditions or pilot error. The local weather at the time of landing featured a temperature of 11°C, with a gentle wind of 3 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard landing procedures. However, the misaligned touchdown position and slightly fast touchdown speed indicate areas for improvement in future landings.
