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.
Touched down 522 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,069 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Krummesse, Germany, and ascended from an altitude of 1,056 feet above sea level to 2,567 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,510 feet in just 1 minute. The climb covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport and lasted for 10 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile north of Gross Siemz, Germany, and involved a descent from 2,561 feet above sea level to 1,334 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,227 feet in 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 252.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 25, which had a length of 1,914 meters. The threshold height at 64 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 125 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,165 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 26 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 24 minutes. The aircraft used 1,060 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 252.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 1,914 meters.
The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was good at 125 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 118 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was fair at -274 feet per minute (fpm), which is slightly higher than the ideal rate. This may indicate that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the pilot should have been able to manage the aircraft effectively.
The total landing distance was 1,165 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the pilot may have taken a more cautious approach to ensure a safe touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 21.3 meters from the centerline, which is consistent with the touchdown position deviation.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some notable deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly, and the touchdown position and rollout alignment were both misaligned. However, the good threshold speed and touchdown speed suggest that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft effectively.
