Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 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 LSZH Zürich Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 1,376 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was also 1 knot. After departing from Zürich, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Rumlang in the Kanton Zurich region of Switzerland. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 69 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 2,386 feet above sea level to 25,932 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles southeast of the town of Bad Urach in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 176 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Zschorlau in the Saxony region of Germany. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 59 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 25,899 feet to 1,880 feet.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading at 221.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which has a length of 2,542 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots. The touchdown point was 114 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,326 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 312 nautical miles and took 57 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,556 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EDDC Dresden Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,142 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22, which has a length of 2,542 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 114 meters past the designated area. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown distance.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control, even with the slightly higher speed. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,326 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at EDDC Dresden Airport was a success, with a high score and excellent performance in several key areas. The aircraft's ability to touch down smoothly and maintain control, even with a slightly fast touchdown speed, was a notable achievement.
