Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 153 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 176 kt against a rotation target of 153 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 153 kt.

Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 242 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,553 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,553 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey on runway 03R, taking off with a distance of 1,260 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 176 knots, with a local temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a headwind of 33 knots. As it departed the airport, the aircraft encountered a crosswind of 2 knots, but the headwind significantly reduced the takeoff roll.
The enroute climb started shortly after departure, as the aircraft ascended from 1,266 feet above sea level to 36,003 feet, a vertical increase of 34,737 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 71-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 571 nautical miles, flying over Central Greece. The descent phase began over Austria, where the aircraft descended from 35,331 feet to 11,100 feet in 14 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruises, flying over Bavaria, Germany, before beginning its final descent towards Munich Airport.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 83.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,479 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,479 meters, accounting for 37% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 899 nautical miles, taking 138 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,673 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, a 3,987-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering 137 knots. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 83.0° throughout the approach, descending from an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,479 feet above ground level.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -222 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 20°, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,479 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The rollout phase was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 99.2%. The slight deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall outcome, resulting in a successful and efficient landing.
