Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 147 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 27 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,736 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Reggio Calabria Airport (LICR), the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. Runway 33 was selected for departure, and the aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,097 meters, utilizing 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 142 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 31°C temperature and a wind of 14 knots at 239°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Reggio Calabria, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,007 feet above sea level in 27 minutes, covering 174 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 38-minute level cruise over Barile, Italy, during which the aircraft covered 274 nautical miles. The descent phase started 5 miles northeast of Skrad, Croatia, and the aircraft descended from 35,953 feet to 19,660 feet in 9 minutes, covering 64 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 1 mile east of Wies, Austria, and the aircraft touched down on runway 16C at Graz Airport (LOWG) after a total flight distance of 586 nautical miles.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 135 knots, and the touchdown point was 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was -176 feet per minute, indicating a good landing performance. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period after landing was 5 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total fuel consumption for the flight was 4,870 kilograms, and the flight duration was 105 minutes.
The final approach to runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport from the north was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 169.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,582 feet above ground level. The approach was conducted in a 7-knot headwind and a 5-knot crosswind, with a temperature of 26°C. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
The aircraft touched down 192 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.7 meters. The total landing distance of 1,316 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.2 meters. Despite this, the overall landing performance was good, with a score of 92.5%. The threshold speed of 135 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
