Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 153 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 153 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,096 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 31 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 30 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Saint-Victoret, a town in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,058 feet above sea level to 38,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,954 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 171 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Vieu, a town in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,988 feet above sea level to 37,015 feet above sea level, a decrease of 973 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Thollon-les-Memises, another town in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region.
The enroute climb started again overhead Oron-la-Ville, a town in the Canton de Vaud region of Switzerland. The aircraft climbed from 37,002 feet above sea level to 38,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,007 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Cottens, a town in the Canton de Fribourg region of Switzerland, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north-west of Thalheim, a town in the Kanton Aargau region of Switzerland. The aircraft descended from 38,037 feet above sea level to 5,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,033 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 184 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-east of Rosstal, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles north of Dietenhofen, another town in the Bavaria region of Germany. The aircraft descended from 5,005 feet above sea level to 4,196 feet above sea level, a decrease of 809 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Markt Erlbach, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started overhead Puschendorf, a town in the Bavaria region of Germany. The aircraft descended from 4,179 feet above sea level to 2,470 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,709 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was made from the west, heading 98.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,418 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport, which has a length of 2,
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 98.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,418 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a direct course for runway 10, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was located 50 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -428 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard.
Despite these minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 100°. The crosswind component was negligible, but the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,428 meters was 53% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with only minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
