Flight Score
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,646 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,646 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 1,164 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Baranowo in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,338 feet above sea level to 32,103 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of the town of Osiecznica in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland. This phase of the flight lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Losina in the Plzensky kraj region of the Czech Republic. The descent took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 78 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 32,070 feet to 4,848 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of the town of Frontenhausen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead the town of Steinkirchen in the state of Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 4,622 feet to 2,770 feet.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 264.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26R, which had a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,573 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 315 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,076 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a local wind of 22 knots at 250°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 22-knot headwind.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired altitude at the moment of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 154 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling at a higher-than-ideal speed as it touched down. The touchdown point was 205 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended touchdown location.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling at a higher speed than necessary as it touched down. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute (fpm), suggesting a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind of 22 knots at 250°. The total landing distance was 1,573 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This suggests 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 properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 90.4%. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and distance, which may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
