Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 4.8°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 419 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 area to the runway, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport. The takeoff distance was 932 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 354 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead EDDM Munich Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,506 feet above sea level to 26,886 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,380 feet in just 9 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 44 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of Burghausen, Germany, and lasted for 11 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Schoenau im Muehlkreis, Austria, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 26,987 feet above sea level to 5,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,969 feet in 16 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 82 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Obersiebenbrunn, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes. During this brief period, the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Haringsee, Austria, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,007 feet above sea level to 1,928 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,080 feet in just 5 minutes. This final descent phase covered a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, which was located to the southeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,331 feet above ground level and was 4 nautical miles from the runway when it started its approach. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at an altitude of 39 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then successfully landed on runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, which had a length of 3,494 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 124 knots. The touchdown point was 71 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 262 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 65 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,032 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 29, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,331 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was slightly above the target speed of 121 knots, reaching 124 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly aggressive in their approach, but still managed to maintain control of the aircraft.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 71 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown rate, which measures the rate at which the aircraft descends onto the runway, was firm at -324 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment with the runway. This could be due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft despite the slight deviations in the approach and touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft.
