Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.

Side view — the last 1,890 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,890 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 247 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 19R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport in Stockholm, Sweden. The takeoff distance was 1,439 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 90°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Stockholm, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to a height of 35,671 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 135 nautical miles and took 22 minutes to complete. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which lasted for 95 minutes and covered a distance of 667 nautical miles. This cruise phase took the aircraft 2 miles north of Kisa, Sweden, before it began its enroute descent.
The enroute descent started 3 miles south of Gomadingen, Germany, and took the aircraft down from a height of 35,990 feet to 2,812 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 106 nautical miles and took 19 minutes to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport, which it approached from the northwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,400 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway when it started its final approach.
The landing on runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 247 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 126°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 4 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 919 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 148 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 5,791 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 14 at Zürich Airport (LSZH) with a score of 95.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,400 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. The touchdown rate of -445 feet per minute (fpm) was also considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots at 126°. The crosswind component was minimal, at just 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,807 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate, which can be addressed through further training and practice.
