Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 7.1 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,298 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 300 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EDDC Dresden Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 22, utilizing 1,383 meters or 54% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 169 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 13°C, with a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of EDDC Dresden Airport, rising from an initial altitude of 1,648 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 35,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,363 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 1 mile northwest of Zirovnice, lasting 111 minutes and covering 896 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its enroute descent 20 miles southwest of Lakki, Greece, descending from 35,032 feet to 1,999 feet in 16 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 5 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport.
The Airbus A321 touched down on runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport, utilizing 302 meters or 42% of the runway's length, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -362 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing phase from the runway to the parking area lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,160 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 166 minutes and a fuel consumption of 7,770 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was well-managed at 137 kt, indicating a high degree of control and precision from the pilot. The touchdown distance of 302 m was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics.
However, the touchdown speed of 132 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -362 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high level of skill and control from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a moderate headwind of 10 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,373 m, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 95.6% reflecting the pilot's skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
