Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 6.8 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.9°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 481 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 499 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,322 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,322 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 931 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 22R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,719 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 99 degrees. The crosswind was 10 knots, while the tailwind was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Dragor, Denmark, and reached an altitude of 38,832 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,788 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Mittenwalde, Germany, and descending from 38,869 feet to 38,233 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting overhead Friedrichswalde, Germany, and lasting 7 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb, starting 3 miles south of EDCF Friedersdorf Glider Field Spreenhagen, Germany, and reaching an altitude of 38,500 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Schlepzig, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The descent started overhead Lubnjow, Germany, and descended from 38,727 feet to 38,057 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Altdobern, Germany, and lasting 14 minutes, covering 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles west of Zihle, Czech Republic, and descending from 37,039 feet to 9,299 feet in 18 minutes, covering 100 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southeast of Obersussbach, Germany, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 17 nautical miles. The descent started 2 miles south of Rohrbach, Germany, and descended from 8,492 feet to 4,996 feet in 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Weichs, Germany, and lasting 5 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was from the west, with a heading of 82.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 509 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -427 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were 1°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 90 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,234 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 486 nautical miles, taking
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, but the landing was not without some minor issues. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 82.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 509 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the target speed, which could have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -427 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 90°, resulting in a headwind of 8 kt and a negligible crosswind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,234 meters was 56% of the available runway length, which is a relatively safe margin. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was not perfect, but it was still considered safe and successful.
The threshold height at 71 feet agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 141 kt. These deviations may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to extend the approach. Nevertheless, the aircraft was able to land safely, and the pilots were able to recover from any minor issues that arose during the landing.
