Departure
Add power to maintain the target climb speed as you continue the climb.
What happened: Climb speed fell well below the target during the climb out, sagging during the initial climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 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 EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 06L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 46% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,380 meters, and the liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 18 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 16 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Muggelheim, a location in the state of Berlin, Germany. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,194 feet above sea level to 32,779 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,584 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile west of Spantekow, a location in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. The aircraft descended from 32,780 feet above sea level to 1,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,453 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 04L at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 41.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was 355 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 130 degrees, with a crosswind component of 21 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,431 meters, which was 48% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking spot from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 48 minutes. The aircraft used 1,908 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, achieving a high score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 127 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 355 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal at 126 knots. The touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 130°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 21 knots and a headwind component of 0 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was not significantly impacted, as the wind was not strong enough to pose a major challenge.
The total landing distance of 1,431 meters was within 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's trajectory during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and rolling out on the runway with minimal deviation from the centerline. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and rollout alignment, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, and the score of 94.3% reflects this.
