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.

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 1,549 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,549 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 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 19 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,932 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,018 feet above sea level to 29,594 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,576 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Grossenbrode, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 40 minutes and covered a distance of 257 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Hochstadt bei Thiersheim, Germany. The descent took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 90 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 30,230 feet above sea level to 5,572 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,658 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Niederaichbach, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile west of Niederaichbach, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, during which the aircraft descended from 5,572 feet above sea level to 5,034 feet above sea level, a decrease of 538 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Essenbach, Germany. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile north west of Hohenpolding, Germany. The descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 4,997 feet above sea level to 2,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,264 feet.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, heading 264.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,254 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 141 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 436 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -171 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 310 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,466 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 14 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,254 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 141 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 436 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the final stages of the approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher rate of descent. Nevertheless, the actual touchdown rate of -171 feet per minute (fpm) was still within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final stages of the approach. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was also 11 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,466 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance during this landing was excellent, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway.
