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 239 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 A319, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,065 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 3,118 feet above sea level, increasing its altitude by 2,062 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Gross Gronau, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile southwest of Luebeck and lasted for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by an enroute descent, which started overhead Lasbek and saw the aircraft descend from 3,108 feet to 1,337 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 72.0 degrees and flying at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 1,914 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 238 meters, and the touchdown speed was 108 knots, which was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -555 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 160 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 777 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 72.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,914 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 116 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 238 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway's end.
However, the touchdown speed of 108 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may indicate that the aircraft was slightly over-controlled during the landing. The touchdown rate of -555 feet per minute (fpm) was very hard, which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a high rate of descent during the landing. This could be due to a variety of factors, including the aircraft's weight, the air density, and the pilot's control inputs.
One notable issue with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 12.0 meters from the centerline. This may indicate that the pilot was not able to maintain a straight course during the final approach, or that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway. Despite this, the landing was still considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown.
