Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 m.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 139 kt by the gates rather than let speed decay.
What happened: The approach was flown too slow through the stabilisation gates, crossing the threshold at 134 kt against a VREF of 139 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 139 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,530 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 429 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Munich Airport, EDDM, on runway 26L, utilizing 68% of the 2,711-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 158 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 °C, with a gentle wind of 3 kt at 146°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it traversed through various enroute phases, including a notable climb from 759 meters to 8,232 meters in 13 minutes, covering 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 58 minutes, while flying at an altitude of 11,872 meters. This phase covered a significant distance of 437 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel consumption during this period was substantial, with a total of 4,384 kg used throughout the flight.
The aircraft's final approach to runway 13 at Malta International Airport, LMML, was executed from the north-west, with a heading of 135.0° at 4 nautical miles and 375.2 meters above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 433 meters and a touchdown speed of 130 kt. The total landing distance was 1,083 meters, utilizing 31% of the 3,535-meter runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight with a total distance of 824 nautical miles and a flight duration of 135 minutes.
The final approach to runway 13 at LMML Malta International Airport was conducted from the north west, heading 135.0° at 4 nm and 375.2 meters above ground level. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a good quality profile that set it up well for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 134 knots was achieved as expected.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it demonstrated good touchdown characteristics, with a speed of 130 knots and a touchdown rate of -0.8 meters per second. The touchdown distance of 433 meters was also within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 12°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,083 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length, was satisfactory. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.5%. The combination of good approach quality, stable touchdown characteristics, and precise runway alignment contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
