Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,175 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 382 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EPPO Poznań-Ławica Airport. This process took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28, with the aircraft taking off after covering 38% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 951 meters, and the liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 19°C and winds of 6 knots at 52°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Baranowo, where the aircraft ascended from 1,320 feet above sea level to 28,750 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,430 feet in 13 minutes and covering 72 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles east of Gorzyca and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 2 miles west of Podelzig, where it ascended from 29,537 feet above sea level to 33,146 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,608 feet in 3 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile northwest of Spreenhagen and lasted for 5 minutes, covering 36 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent 3 miles southeast of Borkheide, where it descended from 33,107 feet above sea level to 23,486 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,621 feet in 7 minutes and covering 44 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Eggersdorf and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 1 mile east of Langenstein, where it descended from 23,476 feet above sea level to 3,080 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,396 feet in 16 minutes and covering 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of Lichtenau and lasted for 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24 at EDLP Paderborn Lippstadt Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 237.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,263 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 24, which had a length of 2,175 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was 381 meters, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C and winds of 3 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,433 meters, which was 66% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 305 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes. The aircraft used 3,383 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 237.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, setting the stage for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 24, which has a length of 2,175 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 135 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 381 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot judgment.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,433 meters was 66% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots were able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a short and stable rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control as it slowed down after touchdown.
Overall, the landing of the Airbus A321 at Paderborn Lippstadt Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The favorable weather conditions and the pilots' expertise likely contributed to the smooth and stable landing.
