Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 137 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 146 kt, 9 kt above the 137 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 137 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 444 m touchdown sits inside 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 Rotterdam The Hague Airport, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 6 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 24, with the aircraft taking off after covering 65% of the runway's length, which was 1,168 meters. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 267 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Overschie, a town in the province of South Holland, Netherlands, and continued to an altitude of 37,722 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,576 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 57 miles northeast of Mundesley, a town in Norfolk, England, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The descent started 10 miles northeast of Hartlepool, a town in England, and continued to an altitude of 1,380 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,580 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Edinburgh Airport took place from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 239.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 24, which was 2,132 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots, while the touchdown distance was good at 444 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at Edinburgh Airport were 18°C temperature and winds of 21 knots at 245 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The total landing distance was 1,253 meters, which was 59% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 374 nautical miles, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,483 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) on runway 24, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a well-above-target threshold speed of 146 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 444 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a headwind of 21 knots at 245°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which made the landing even more manageable. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The total landing distance of 1,253 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
