Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 12°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 2,104 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,104 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 1,572 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and winds of 3 knots at 52°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started overhead Sencur, Slovenia, and the aircraft ascended from 2,309 feet above sea level to 30,192 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,884 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles northwest of Heiligenblut, Austria, and lasting 10 minutes, covering a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles north of Penzberg, Germany, and descended from 30,147 feet above sea level to 26,303 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,843 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Olching, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Schiltberg, Germany, and descended from 26,301 feet above sea level to 2,168 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,133 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport was made from the east, heading 279.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,111 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 28, which is 2,693 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 143 knots. The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and winds of 1 knot at 90°. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,028 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 263 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,958 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,111 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a precise course for landing on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct height relative to the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 143 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed being slightly higher than intended.
The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,028 meters, which is 75% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
