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 8.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,969 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,969 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 456 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 04R at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,124 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 21 knots and a tailwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport and climbing from an altitude of 1,012 feet above sea level to 34,391 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,379 feet in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 151 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Boizenburg, Germany, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 147 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Marksuhl, Germany, and descending from 34,323 feet above sea level to 4,733 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,590 feet in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southeast of Kelkheim, Germany, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Offenbach, Germany, and descending from 4,150 feet above sea level to 1,781 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,369 feet in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 251.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,427 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters, was successful, with a threshold height above the target and a threshold speed that was good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -516 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, and the total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
In total, the flight distance was 411 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 109 minutes. The aircraft used 5,492 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 90.4%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,427 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,795 meters.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was good at 146 knots, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct speed for landing. The touchdown distance was also good at 453 meters, showing that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots. This may have contributed to the very hard touchdown rate of -516 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than the desired rate. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed or the pilot's control inputs.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind component. The total landing distance was 1,889 meters, which is 68% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown speed and improving the threshold height.
