Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 12 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 12 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 390 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Ajaccio-Napoléon Bonaparte Airport (LFKJ), the Airbus A321 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 20, covering 1,439 meters, which represented 66% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots, overcoming a headwind of 4 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 160°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 152 nautical miles, increasing its altitude by 34,991 feet in 23 minutes. The climb phase started 1 mile southwest of the departure airport and continued until the aircraft reached a cruising altitude of 36,009 feet. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted 24 minutes, covering 180 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards its destination. The descent phase, which started 2 miles south of Wald, Switzerland, saw the aircraft decrease its altitude by 31,029 feet in 29 minutes, covering 179 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 279.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,445 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance was 390 meters, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,302 meters, representing 48% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 542 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 4,505 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 93 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 139 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 132 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -410 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 390 m was within the acceptable range, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.2 m from the centreline. This slight deviation from the centreline was also observed during the rollout phase, where the aircraft was 12.5 m off-centre. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a 7 kt headwind, did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, allowing the pilot to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,302 m, accounting for 48% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 92.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the optimal touchdown and rollout alignment, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
