Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 1,603 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,603 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 524 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, a movement that lasted 13 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 159 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,518 m, which represented 38 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 7 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 350°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and no head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile south-east of EDDM, with the airplane rising from 2,502 ft asl to 34,993 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,491 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 106 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south of Frickingen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany) and was maintained for 30 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 205 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile west of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France), descending from 34,683 ft asl to 1,380 ft asl, a loss of 33,302 ft over 26 minutes and a distance of 115 nm.
The final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport was flown from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 4 nm and 1,352 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 13L at LFML when the aircraft reached 28 ft agl, prompting a climb back to a missed-approach altitude before a subsequent approach.
Landing on runway 13L was performed on a runway 3,373 m long; the threshold height of 57 ft agl and threshold speed of 139 kt were slightly above target, and touchdown occurred 111 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt with a firm rate of minus 387 fpm; runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,524 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s centreline alignment was offset by 8.3 m; local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 25 kt from 80°, a cross-wind component of 20 kt and a head-wind component of 14 kt.
After exiting the runway, the Airbus A321 taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 444 nm, required 109 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 5,229 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 entered the final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport from the north-west on a heading of 134.0° at 4 nm and 1,352 ft agl; the approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, while the ambient temperature was 15 °C and the wind was 25 kt from 080° (20 kt crosswind, 14 kt headwind).
At threshold the aircraft was slightly high, with the threshold height measured at 57 ft agl, a little above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 kt; the flare was initiated from this condition.
Touchdown occurred 111 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was a little fast at 134 kt, and the vertical rate was firm at minus 387 fpm, although runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,524 m, representing 45 % of the 3,373 m runway, but the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 m from the centreline.
Refine the flare to achieve the target touchdown point within the zone and reduce speed and vertical rate, and maintain precise centreline tracking during rollout to eliminate the small lateral deviation.
