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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 135 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 31 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 619 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 135 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 4,266 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 8.8° against the runway's 3° and speed 61 kt FAST on the reference speed of 135 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,488 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,488 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,076 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) on runway 22, the Airbus A320 accelerated down the 1,323-meter takeoff distance, which represented 47% of the available runway length. At a liftoff speed of 157 knots, the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind of 17 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component contributed to a significant reduction in ground speed.
As the aircraft climbed from 959 feet above sea level to 38,001 feet, it covered a distance of 155 nautical miles in 29 minutes, achieving an impressive climb rate. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 86 miles south of Demre, Turkey, and lasted for 149 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 1,081 nautical miles. The descent phase began 6 miles south of Stadl an der Mur, Austria, and saw the aircraft descend from 37,998 feet to 10,298 feet in 14 minutes, covering 95 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at Munich Airport (EDDM) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft touching down 735 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 148 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly hard at -504 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 2,483 meters represented 62% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was satisfactory. Following a taxiing time of 4 minutes and a distance of 1 nautical mile, the aircraft arrived at the parking position. The total flight distance of 1,384 nautical miles was achieved in 209 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 1,881 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport from the east, heading 260.0° at 2 nm and 1,738 ft agl, presented a challenging scenario for the Airbus A320. The approach quality was compromised by a significantly above-target threshold height of 91 ft agl, which necessitated a higher-than-optimal approach path angle. Furthermore, the threshold speed of 167 kt was also too high, indicating a potential loss of control during the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down 735 m beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 148 kt was fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -504 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline, which could have contributed to the overall performance issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle tailwind of 4 kt, did not significantly impact the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,483 m, accounting for 62% of the runway length, was a concern. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the post-touchdown phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 77.3%, highlighting areas for improvement in terms of approach quality, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate.
