Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 212 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 322 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 618 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport (LOWI) in 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,390 m, representing 70 % of the runway. Liftoff speed was recorded at 155 kt. Ambient temperature was 23 °C with wind from 250° at 5 kt; the cross-wind component was 1 kt and the head-wind component 5 kt.
Climb commenced one mile north-east of Birgitz, Austria, with the airplane ascending from 2,914 ft asl to 33,974 ft asl, an increase of 31,061 ft achieved in 16 minutes while covering 92 nm.
The first cruise segment began overhead Markt Rettenbach, Germany, lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 54 nm of level flight.
Descent started one mile south-west of Goeppingen, Germany, with altitude decreasing from 34,035 ft asl to 6,134 ft asl, a loss of 27,900 ft over 22 minutes and a distance of 123 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated one mile north-west of Aura im Sinngrund, Germany, lasting 7 minutes and covering 26 nm.
The next descent began one mile north-east of Hanau am Main, Germany, descending from 5,614 ft asl to 1,683 ft asl, a reduction of 3,931 ft in 4 minutes while traveling 13 nm.
Final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) was conducted from the east, on a heading of 250.0°, at 4 nm and 1,332 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25R, which is 2,797 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 123 kt. Touchdown occurred 202 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 109 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 343 fpm and excellent runway-centerline alignment.
The rollout distance measured 1,333 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout was perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 10 minutes, covering 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 318 nm, lasted 72 minutes, and consumed 2,522 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 entered the final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt from the east, flying a heading of 250.0° at 4 NM and 1,332 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, and the local weather was 20 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 270°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component.
At the threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 123 kt. The runway length is 2,797 m.
Touchdown occurred 202 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 109 kt judged good, a firm vertical rate of minus 343 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment described as very good.
The total landing distance was 1,333 m, representing 48 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
For future landings, aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone and moderate the flare to reduce the vertical rate, while preserving the excellent alignment and speed control already demonstrated.
