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 1,534 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,534 m of the 3,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 07R, with a takeoff distance of 1,539 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 1°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,108 feet above sea level to 34,894 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,787 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles south west of Zmigrod, Poland, and lasted for 55 minutes, covering a distance of 464 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 3 miles south of Dacia, Romania, descending from 35,144 feet above sea level to 2,297 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,847 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile north west of Tartasesti, Romania, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading at 84.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08L took place at a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 261 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -175 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,238 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 703 nautical miles, taking 122 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,252 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 08L, which has a length of 3,489 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kn, coming in at 136 kn. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 261 meters. The touchdown speed of 130 kn was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -175 feet per minute (fpm) was within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 14 kn from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 kn and a headwind of 12 kn, which the aircraft successfully managed. The total landing distance of 1,238 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing process. Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at LROP Bucharest Henri Coandă International Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in challenging weather conditions.
