Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 11 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 11 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Venice Marco Polo Airport, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, and the takeoff distance was 1,521 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. After departing from Venice Marco Polo Airport, the enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from an altitude of 1,043 feet above sea level to 28,334 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,292 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of San Leonardo in Passiria, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 7 miles northwest of Racines, with the aircraft descending from 28,605 feet above sea level to 2,768 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,837 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Munich Airport was made from the west, heading 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,280 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,986 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 62 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was good at 140 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 415 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -313 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1 degree Celsius and winds of 6 knots at 120 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,247 meters, which is 31% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 192 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes, using 2,079 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the designated runway.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the moment of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 140 knots, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 415 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 138 knots, the aircraft was able to maintain a firm touchdown rate of -313 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft's engines were able to provide sufficient thrust to slow down the aircraft quickly and safely upon touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 120°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge to the pilot, but the aircraft was able to handle them safely.
The total landing distance of 1,247 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and management of its descent, touchdown, and rollout phases. The score of 96.9% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilot during this landing.
