Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 161 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 134 kt against a target of 161 kt, running 27 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 161 kt.
Arrival
Add power earlier on final to hold VREF of 128 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 126 kt against a VREF of 128 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 128 kt from the first stabilisation gate onward.
See Arrival Approach
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 128 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 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 435 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 31 at LMML Malta International Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 31, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 2,545 m, representing 76 % of the runway, and lifted off at 137 kt. Ambient conditions were 33 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 059°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Qormi, Malta, with the airplane climbing from 1,123 ft asl to 38,008 ft asl, an increase of 36,885 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 121 nm.
The first level cruise began 3 miles south of LIYM Campo di Volo AvioSciacca, Italy, and persisted for 71 minutes, during which 501 nm were flown.
Descent started over Recoaro Terme, Veneto, Italy, with altitude decreasing from 37,999 ft asl to 5,515 ft asl, a loss of 32,485 ft in 28 minutes and a distance of 164 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed, initiating 1 mile south-east of Bergkirchen, Bavaria, Germany, lasting 3 minutes and covering 12 nm.
Subsequent descent began 1 mile south-east of Rohrmoos, Bavaria, Germany, with the aircraft descending from 4,997 ft asl to 2,884 ft asl, a reduction of 2,113 ft in 3 minutes over 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was conducted from the west, on a heading of 083.0° at 4 nm and 1,400 ft agl.
Landing on runway 08R, which is 4,065 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 126 kt. Touchdown was recorded at 432 m down the runway, at a speed of 118 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 240 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.1 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 19 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 050°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
The total landing distance measured 1,421 m, equivalent to 35 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was assessed as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, traversing 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 812 nm, required 137 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,694 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 conducted the final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport from the west, tracking a heading of 83.0° at 4 NM and 1,400 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was 19 °C with wind 2 kt from 050°, including a 1 kt crosswind and 1 kt headwind.
The aircraft crossed the threshold at a good height and established a good threshold speed of 126 kt during the flare.
Touchdown occurred 432 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 118 kt described as a little fast and a touchdown rate rated fair at -240 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,421 m, representing 35 % of the 4,065 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target VREF and tighten the landing track to eliminate the 6.1 m lateral offset. Maintaining the current stabilised approach will preserve the high overall score.
