Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 415 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,270 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and winds of 12 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of Freilassing in Bavaria, Germany. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 111 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,416 feet above sea level to 28,737 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,321 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Dobrany in the Plzensky kraj region of the Czech Republic. This phase lasted 11 minutes and covered 87 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Coswig in Saxony, Germany. The descent took 15 minutes and covered 75 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 28,733 feet above sea level to 1,445 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,288 feet.
The final approach to runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and winds of 13 knots at 320°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft landed on runway 24L, which has a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 416 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,412 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 280 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 54 minutes. The aircraft used 3,049 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 24L, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 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 135 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 needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 5.5 meters off the centerline. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely manageable for the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,412 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A321's landing at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
