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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 698 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDV Hannover Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27L, with a takeoff distance of 834 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and winds of 19 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 17 knots. The enroute climb started overhead EDDV Hannover Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,215 feet above sea level to 19,034 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,820 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 49 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile northwest of Bad Karlshafen, Germany. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 74 nautical miles. The descent phase started 2 miles east of Gedern, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 18,856 feet above sea level to 1,728 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,128 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,375 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being slightly above the target and the threshold speed being good at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 280 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 124 knots, which was good, and a touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute, which was firm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 309 degrees, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,330 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 163 nautical miles, which was covered in 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,233 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 93.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,375 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 280 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 124 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 309°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the aircraft maintained a stable alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,330 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The score of 93.7% reflects the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the landing.
