Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,434 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 512 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.

Biggest loss first. Every scored stage counts equally within its phase, and the phases equally in the flight score — so each amount is exact, not an estimate.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft, departing from Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP) in Germany. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 26R at EDDP was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,709 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 173 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 168°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of EDDP Leipzig/Halle Airport Schkeuditz, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 451 meters above sea level (asl) to 7,826 meters asl, an increase of 7,375 meters in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north-west of Vahlberg in Lower Saxony, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The next enroute climb phase started 2 miles north-west of Salzgitter, where the aircraft climbed from 7,922 meters asl to 10,312 meters asl, an increase of 2,390.1 meters in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Espelkamp in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and lasting 38 minutes, covering a distance of 277 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 14 miles north of Cley next the Sea in Norfolk, England, where the aircraft descended from 10,358 meters asl to 3,658 meters asl, a decrease of 6,700.6 meters in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north-west of Sowerby Bridge in Calderdale, England, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The next enroute descent phase started overhead Cornholme in Calderdale, England, where the aircraft descended from 3,646 meters asl to 3,188 meters asl, a decrease of 458.2 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Haslingden in Lancashire, England, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The next enroute descent phase started 1 mile north-east of Darwen in Blackburn with Darwen, England, where the aircraft descended from 3,046 meters asl to 2,818 meters asl, a decrease of 227.3 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Edenfield in Lancashire, England, and lasting 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The next enroute descent phase started 1 mile north-west of Langho in Lancashire, England, where the aircraft descended from 2,741 meters asl to 1,108 meters asl, a decrease of 1,633.1 meters in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Mossley in Borough of Tameside, England, and lasting 2 minutes, covering
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 23R at Manchester Airport (EGCC) with a score of 94.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 231.0° at an altitude of 386.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -1.2 meters per second was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively hard on the landing gear.
One notable issue was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 12.4 meters. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and a light wind of 3 knots from 178°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance of 1,154 meters was 47% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 11.8 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown misalignment. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
