Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.3° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.5° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,940 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,940 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 377 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,121 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 36 knots at an angle of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 29 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Saint-Victoret in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,083 feet above sea level to 35,730 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,647 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Vendone in the Liguria region of Italy. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 180 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Terres in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 124 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 36,011 feet above sea level to 2,781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,230 feet.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 83.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08R, which has a length of 3,987 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at an angle of 179 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The touchdown speed was 120 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -335 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 1,849 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 443 nautical miles and took 85 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 4,116 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 129 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 375 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -335 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 4°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 179°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's ability to handle these conditions was evident in its perfect runway touchdown alignment and rollout alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,849 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing phase, and the aircraft's performance was well within the expected parameters. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and efficiently on the runway.
