Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 138 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 32 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 133 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 144 kt against a target of 133 kt, 11 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 133 kt by the gate and held to 133 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 133 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,200 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 322 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from its parking position to runway 08L at Munich Airport (EDDM) in a duration of 49 minutes, covering a ground distance of 16 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08L, the aircraft accelerated through a take-off distance of 2,331 m, representing 57 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient conditions were 25 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 080°, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.
The climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-east of EDDM, with the flight ascending from 2,449 ft asl to 32,010 ft asl-a gain of 29,561 ft-over 14 minutes while traversing 85 nm.
Level cruise began about 1 mile north of Wilhermsdorf and was maintained for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 165 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated roughly 1 mile west of Berg in Rheinland-Pfalz, with the aircraft descending from 31,618 ft asl to 1,414 ft asl, a loss of 30,205 ft, in 18 minutes and over a distance of 93 nm.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was flown from the east on a heading of 250.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25L was achieved on a runway length of 3,200 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 145 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 324 m down the runway at a speed of 137 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 351 fpm. Alignment was on-track, and local weather reported 22 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
In total, the flight covered 365 nm, required 66 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 7,185 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 conducted the final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 250.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,252 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft exhibited good threshold height, but the threshold speed was well above target at 145 kt. The touchdown point was good at 324 m down the runway.
Touchdown occurred with a speed of 137 kt, described as fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 351 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The overall score of 95.3 % reflects a strong performance; focus on reducing the threshold and touchdown speeds to the intended targets and refining flare timing to achieve a smoother touchdown will tighten the remaining margins.
