Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 20 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 20 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,829 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,829 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 716 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 2,141 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 121 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb began 2 miles east of Schwechat, Austria, and the aircraft ascended from 1,202 feet above sea level to 32,568 feet, an increase of 31,366 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Sankt Johann am Wimberg, Austria, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 226 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile southwest of Ober-Ramstadt, Germany, and descended from 32,468 feet to 3,538 feet, a decrease of 28,930 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 88 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again 1 mile south of Osweiler, Luxembourg, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport took place from the northeast, with a heading of 240.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 took place on a runway with a length of 3,989 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -199 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 170 degrees, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,732 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 433 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,390 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24, which has a length of 3,989 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 139 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 283 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -199 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,732 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the aircraft was able to decelerate quickly and smoothly after touchdown, and that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's speed and distance during the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly on runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The high score of 96.9% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in managing the aircraft during the landing phase.
