Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 1,843 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,843 m of the 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots at 149 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Enzersdorf an der Fischa in Austria. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,603 feet above sea level to 35,684 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,080 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Dolni Bukovsko in the Czech Republic. This phase lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 265 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 4 miles west of Winterberg in Germany. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 60 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 35,433 feet above sea level to 1,457 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,976 feet.
The final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 233.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,311 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23L, which had a length of 2,395 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,760 meters, which accounted for 74% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 435 nautical miles, and the flight took 93 minutes. The aircraft used 4,364 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,311 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed on the designated runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 139 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance. The touchdown point was 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 132 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -374 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 9 kt at 150°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,760 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, considering the runway length and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with good control and stability, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the overall performance, and the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
