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 10°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 436 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,919 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,919 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 308 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 06R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,302 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at an angle of 80 degrees.
The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 18 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 24 minutes, covering a distance of 161 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,031 feet above sea level to 35,856 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,824 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 32 miles southwest of La Ciotat, France, and lasted for 49 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 359 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Konigsheim, Germany, and continued for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 36,291 feet above sea level to 10,310 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,981 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Obersulzen, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started overhead Hochborn, Germany, and continued for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 10,152 feet above sea level to 4,903 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,249 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Aspisheim, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Essenheim, Germany, and continued for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,916 feet above sea level to 1,671 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,245 feet.
The final approach to runway 07L at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 311 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -433 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at an angle of 0 degrees.
The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,838 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 97.7%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course and descended smoothly onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the pilots maintained a consistent approach path. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 311 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.
Despite a slightly fast touchdown speed of 136 knots, the aircraft's touchdown rate was reported as hard at -433 feet per minute (fpm). This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown, which can result in a harder touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a consistent and accurate approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible effect on the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,838 meters was 66% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots maintained a good balance between speed and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A321 aircraft's landing on runway 07L at Frankfurt Airport was successful, with a score of 97.7%. The pilots demonstrated good control and decision-making skills, and the aircraft performed well under the given weather conditions.
