Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 154 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 177 kt, 23 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 154 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 506 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,778 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 177 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 35 knots at 240 degrees. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 32 knots. The aircraft climbed to a height of 36,711 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,186 feet from the initial altitude of 2,526 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 165 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Paese in Veneto, Italy, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 354 nautical miles. The cruise altitude was maintained until the aircraft began its descent.
The enroute descent started 8 miles southwest of Agnone in Campania, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 36,999 feet to 5,005 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Barone in Calabria, Italy, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. However, this was a short-lived cruise, as the aircraft began its final descent shortly after.
The final descent started 1 mile southwest of Catanzaro in Calabria, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 4,928 feet to 1,392 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 at Lamezia Terme Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 278.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 28, which had a length of 2,544 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target speed at 156 knots. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 147 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and a wind speed of 32 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 28 knots. The total landing distance was 1,365 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 663 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 105 minutes. The aircraft used 5,117 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LICA Lamezia Terme Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 278.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,544 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 156 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's speed being influenced by the wind conditions. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly so.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 147 knots, which is considered fast. The touchdown rate was firm, with a rate of -359 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the wind conditions.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach path or the wind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 32 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 28 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,365 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as the high threshold speed and the fast touchdown speed. However, the aircraft's ability to maintain its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase was a positive aspect of the landing.
