The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, EDSB. The Airbus A321 took off after a takeoff distance of 943 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the aircraft climbed steadily into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 190 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, near Rheinmünster, and reached an altitude of 1,830 feet above sea level, an increase of 355 feet from the initial 1,476 feet. This climb was achieved in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
After the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase took place overhead Lichtenau, a town in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 21 at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 212.0 degrees and at an altitude of 878 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 257 meters and a touchdown speed of 117 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -532 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 13.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 189 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,001 meters, accounting for 81% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned from the centerline, by 23.2 meters. Despite some minor issues with alignment, the flight was otherwise successful, with a total flight distance of 17 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 434 kilograms. The flight duration was 9 minutes.

The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport, with a final approach from the north east at a heading of 212.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 878 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 21, which has a length of 2,483 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 120 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. The touchdown distance of 257 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within acceptable limits.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was reported as very hard, with a rate of -532 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the aircraft's high descent rate or the pilot's failure to flare adequately. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's failure to maintain a straight course during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 189°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing performance.
The total landing distance was 2,001 meters, which is 81% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 23.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's failure to maintain a straight course during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of the touchdown rate and the alignment of the aircraft during the final approach and rollout.
