Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 21° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 1.9 ft, 9.4 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by FWB TUI FLY, with the aircraft registration D-ATUI. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft departed from Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport (LGKR), it rolled down runway 34, covering a takeoff distance of 1,441 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 147 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 79 degrees.
The enroute climb phase began overhead Corfu, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 654 feet above sea level to 36,465 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,811 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 17 miles northeast of Lecce-San Cataldo Lepore Airfield (LINL) in Italy. This phase lasted for 47 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 602 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile southeast of Sauldorf in Germany, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,719 feet above sea level to 7,695 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,025 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles west of Achern in Germany and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 2 miles east of Willstaett in Germany, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,488 feet above sea level to 1,686 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,802 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 03 at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport (EDSB), approaching from the southwest at a heading of 32.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 03, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 124 knots, and the touchdown distance was 320 meters. The touchdown rate was very hard, at -527 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 30 degrees.
The total landing distance was 990 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 843 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 99 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,236 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, FWB TUI FLY D-ATUI, successfully landed at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport with a score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 03 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 124 knots, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 126 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 320 meters. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -527 feet per minute, which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing process.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 30°. There was no crosswind component, which made the landing process even smoother.
The total landing distance was 990 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing of FWB TUI FLY D-ATUI at EDSB Karlsruhe Baden-Baden Airport was a successful one, with a high score of 94.5%. The aircraft's performance during the landing process was satisfactory, with a good touchdown speed and distance, and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the hard touchdown rate may indicate a need for further training or adjustments to the aircraft's landing technique.
