Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 174 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 40 kt fast at 214 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 174 kt in the climb
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 8.6 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 12 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 240 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Vienna International Airport (LOWW), the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. With the local weather conditions at 16 °C and a 30-knot headwind, the aircraft took off from runway 34, utilizing 41% of the available runway length. The takeoff distance was 1,470 meters, and the liftoff speed was 174 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,883 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile northeast of LOWW and concluded 1 mile southwest of Oslov, Czech Republic. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 42 minutes and covering 296 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of descents, with the first starting 3 miles south of Greven, Germany, and the second beginning overhead Duivendrecht, Netherlands. The final approach to runway 06 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (EHAM) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 135 knots and a touchdown distance of 241 meters.
The landing was considered good, with a threshold height and speed within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-center. The total landing distance was 737 meters, accounting for 23% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 579 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,606 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 109 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 138 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 241 m was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable approach.
However, the touchdown speed of 135 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -239 fpm. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed to ensure a stable approach, but it did result in a slightly longer rollout. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The aircraft's rollout was also slightly misaligned by 12.4 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Despite this, the total landing distance of 737 m was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short and controlled rollout. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.5%, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control.
