Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 6.4°.
What happened: The wings held 6.4° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 4.9° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 514 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 514 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the TBM 930 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport. The departure roll on runway 27 covered a distance of 336 meters, which was 14% of the total runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff at a speed of 92 knots, with the local weather showing a temperature of 6°C, wind at 10 knots from 220°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The enroute climb began over Erfurt, climbing from 2,082 feet above sea level to 8,121 feet, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The level cruise phase started over Molschleben and lasted 36 minutes, covering 116 nm. The descent phase started over Bad Schwalbach, descending from 8,133 feet to 2,577 feet in 3 minutes, covering 15 nm. Another short cruise phase started over Bodenheim, lasting 7 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The final approach was made to runway 08 at EDFC Aschaffenburg Airfield from the west at a heading of 79.0°, 2 nm out at 1,839 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 153 meters and a touchdown speed of 83 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -359 feet per minute, with a good runway touchdown alignment. The total landing distance was 408 meters, representing 79% of the runway length, with a very good runway rollout alignment.
The total flight distance covered was 172 nm, taking 48 minutes in total. The aircraft used 0 kg of fuel throughout the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDE Erfurt-Weimar Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 27, which has a length of 2,381 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 143 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than recommended, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, but not ideal. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 330°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which made the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 1,423 meters was 60% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the entire process.
