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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 499 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 EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft taking off after covering 52% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,192 meters, and the liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Morawica, a town in Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland, where the aircraft climbed from 1,785 feet above sea level to 15,280 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,495 feet in 5 minutes and covering 25 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Bojszowy, a town in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 15,789 feet above sea level to 32,040 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,251 feet in 9 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles. This climb took place overhead Rudziczka, another town in Silesian Voivodeship, Poland.
The enroute level cruise started again, this time overhead Mikulov, a town in Jihomoravsky kraj, Czech Republic, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south east of Sattledt, a town in Oberoesterreich, Austria. The descent took place from 31,980 feet above sea level to 4,801 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,179 feet in 14 minutes and covering 106 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started once more, this time overhead Dachau, a town in Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south west of Fahrenzhausen, another town in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took place from 4,694 feet above sea level to 2,745 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,949 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08L was successful, with the touchdown point being 78 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -174 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -2°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,017 meters, which was 26% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 383 nautical miles, and the flight took 50 minutes. The aircraft used 2,755 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 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 135 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 78 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this is not considered a significant deviation. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The runway length of 3,986 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,017 meters, which accounted for only 26% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The high score achieved by the pilot reflects their expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
