Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 156 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 172 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 156 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 1,918 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,918 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 630 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 LFML Marseille Provence Airport. This process took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 31R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 50% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,674 meters, and the liftoff speed was 172 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 28 knots at 310°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 28 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of LFML Marseille Provence Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,025 feet above sea level to 34,394 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 129 nautical miles and took 24 minutes, resulting in an increase of 33,369 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Granieu in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 250 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Prem in Bavaria, Germany. The descent from 33,964 feet above sea level to 10,166 feet above sea level took 11 minutes and covered 67 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time lasting only 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, as it flew overhead Schwindegg in Bavaria, Germany. The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Lohkirchen in Bavaria, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 10,067 feet above sea level to 2,741 feet above sea level. This descent took 7 minutes and covered 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 264.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,986 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 146 knots. The touchdown point was 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -80 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 320°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,837 meters, which was 46% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 484 nautical miles and took 92 minutes, using 4,491 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 98.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 26R, which has a length of 3,986 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 146 knots. The touchdown point was located 213 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown.
Despite the minor deviations, the aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, which is essential for a safe landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,837 meters, which is approximately 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 98.1%. The minor deviations from the intended landing spot and slightly fast touchdown speed were not significant enough to impact the overall safety of the landing.
