Flight Score
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 181 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 213 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,659 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,659 m of the 3,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,609 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 260°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDM Munich Airport. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,452 feet above sea level to 35,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,556 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Aidhausen, Bavaria, Germany, and lasted for 87 minutes, covering a distance of 577 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 20 miles northeast of Amlwch, Anglesey, Wales, and took 16 minutes to descend from 35,008 feet above sea level to 8,023 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,984 feet. The descent covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile southwest of Duleek, Leinster, Ireland, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The final enroute descent started overhead Athboy, Leinster, Ireland, and took 9 minutes to descend from 8,009 feet above sea level to 1,572 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,437 feet. The descent covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport, approaching from the west at a heading of 95.0° and at an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 10L at EIDW Dublin Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 107 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 28 knots at 140°.
The total landing distance was 1,575 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 827 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 153 minutes. The aircraft used 7,020 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 10L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 89.4%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 95.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,347 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on the designated runway, which has a length of 3,110 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct height relative to the runway surface. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 150 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown. The touchdown point was 107 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 138 kt was slightly faster than the target speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -322 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 28 kt from a direction of 140°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 20 kt and a headwind component of 20 kt, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. The total landing distance was 1,575 meters, which is 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 8.7 meters, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a steady course or the aircraft's response to the wind conditions. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the target parameters.
