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.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 40 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 22 minutes to reach an altitude of 37,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,804 feet from the initial altitude of 1,023 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 144 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Palazzuolo sul Senio in Italy. This phase lasted for 13 minutes and covered a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Velo d'Astico in Italy. The descent took 19 minutes to reach an altitude of 11,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,749 feet from the initial altitude of 37,913 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Bogenhausen in Germany. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent once again, which started 2 miles east of Ismaning in Germany. The descent took 3 minutes to reach an altitude of 5,487 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,679 feet from the initial altitude of 11,166 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Dorfen in Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final enroute descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Inning am Holz in Germany. The descent took 2 minutes to reach an altitude of 2,800 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,921 feet from the initial altitude of 4,721 feet.
The final approach to runway 26L at Munich Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading at 264.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 408 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,436 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 428 nautical miles, taking a total of 83 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,818 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,323 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 230°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 408 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions, including a 2-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind of 1 knot, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,436 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable landing.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills were evident in the high score achieved. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed without any issues or complications.
