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 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 701 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDC Dresden Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 1,071 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 339°.
The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile northeast of EDDC Dresden Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,716 feet above sea level to 29,440 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,724 feet, in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Bufleben, a town in the state of Thuringia, Germany, and lasted for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 60 nautical miles. The descent phase started 1 mile north of Freiensteinau, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany, and took the aircraft from an altitude of 29,370 feet above sea level to 1,722 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,648 feet, in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,369 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25R, which had a length of 2,795 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 284 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -299 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 319°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,340 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 219 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 58 minutes, during which the aircraft used 2,673 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 93.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,369 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 284 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target but still within a reasonable distance. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -299 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly to achieve a better touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 319°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,340 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to manage the descent and touchdown effectively, and the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and touchdown zone accuracy.
