Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 354 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 A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EYVI Vilnius International Airport. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01, with the aircraft taking off after covering 47% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,173 meters, and the liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of -4°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 319 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EYVI Vilnius International Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,648 feet above sea level to 10,657 feet above sea level in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northwest of Pasilaiciai, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 11,155 feet above sea level to 34,433 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,278 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of Wydminy, lasting for 24 minutes and covering 178 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 35,423 feet above sea level to 5,377 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,046 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles north of EDAL Fürstenwalde Airport, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles. The descent continued from 4,957 feet above sea level to 1,447 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,510 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 249.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 2,993 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 130 knots, and the touchdown distance was 354 meters. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -290 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were -3°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 280 degrees. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 957 meters, which was 32% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 456 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 4,486 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 24R, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 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 recorded at 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 354 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate of -290 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent rate. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly 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 -3°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. Despite these challenging weather conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 957 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing phase and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A321 at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
