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 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Select landing flap before the stabilisation gate so it is configured on every approach.
What happened: Landing flap was not set at the stabilisation gate.
Watch for: Flap indicator: landing flap selected before the gate
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,444 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 26R at Munich Airport, covering 5 nm in 24 minutes.
On departure roll the aircraft used 1,308 m of runway 26R, representing 33 % of the available length, and lifted off at 139 kt. Local weather at the time was 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 200°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Munich, rising from 2,468 ft asl to 19,725 ft asl - an increase of 17,257 ft - in 8 minutes while covering 38 nm.
A go-around was executed on runway 24 at Cologne Bonn Airport when the aircraft was at 1,253 ft agl.
Subsequent final approach to runway 24 at Cologne Bonn Airport was flown from the north-east, on a heading of 244.0°, at 4 nm and 1,216 ft agl.
Landing on runway 24, which is 2,448 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 372 m down the runway at 135 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 326 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 2 kt from 350°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect; the total landing distance recorded was 1,362 m, equal to 56 % of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
In total the flight covered 333 nm, lasted 97 minutes and consumed 1,756 kg of fuel.
Airbus A320 on final approach to runway 24 at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport from the north-east, heading 244.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,216 ft agl, was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 372 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 135 kt that was a little fast, a firm touchdown rate of minus 326 fpm, and perfect runway touchdown alignment; total landing distance was 1,362 m, representing 56 % of the 2,448 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Ensure the flaps are selected before reaching the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stable approach, and manage speed on the final segment to reduce the slight excess over the target touchdown speed.
