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 1,524 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 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The Airbus A319 took off with a takeoff distance of 345 meters, which is 18% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and wind blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of Krummesse, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,109 feet above sea level to 2,910 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,801 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 15 minutes and covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Bliestorf, Germany, in the state of Schleswig-Holstein.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 2,906 feet above sea level and descended to 1,335 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,571 feet in 3 minutes. The descent phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and took place overhead Menzendorf, Germany, in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -362 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 17°C. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 22 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 918 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 1,914 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 122 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was prepared for landing.
The touchdown point was 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 112 knots was good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to slow the aircraft down smoothly. The touchdown rate of -362 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilot had applied the correct amount of reverse thrust to slow the aircraft down.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 17°C, which would not have presented any significant challenges for the pilot.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach and landing. The high score of 95.4% reflects the quality of the landing and the pilot's ability to execute a safe and controlled touchdown.
