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.

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 2,039 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,039 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,455 meters, which is 60% 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 14°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 340°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,107 feet above sea level to 34,717 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,610 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 122 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 73 minutes and covered a distance of 497 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 35 miles northeast of Ortona, Italy. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Heinrichsthal, Germany, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,497 feet above sea level to 4,028 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,469 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Erlensee, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Obertshausen, Germany, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,597 feet above sea level to 1,654 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,943 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 439 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 139 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -422 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,955 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.6 meters.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 656 nautical miles, which was covered in 133 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,914 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 91.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,984 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed, but it did not seem to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 439 meters, which is within the acceptable range for a runway of this length.
However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was reported as fast, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly too quickly. This could have contributed to a hard touchdown rate of -422 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than the recommended rate. A hard touchdown can put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may affect the overall safety of the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.9 meters, which may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach path. This misalignment could have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment, which was off by 14.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 7°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 160°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the successful landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and landing performance.
