Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 58 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 58 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 748 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,807 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,807 m of the 2,486 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 748 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway, covering approximately 1 nm in 5 minutes.
On runway 24 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport, the aircraft commenced its departure roll, accelerating over a takeoff distance of 1,784 m (48 % of the runway) and achieving a liftoff speed of 154 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 3 kt from 072°, with a 0 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
Climb began overhead Jenec in the Středočeský kraj, with the airplane ascending from 2,187 ft asl to 33,902 ft asl - a gain of 31,715 ft - over 14 minutes while covering 81 nm.
Level cruise was established one mile north-east of Mitterteich, Bavaria, and persisted for 13 minutes, during which 97 nm were traversed.
Descent commenced one mile north-east of EDYM Weipertshofen Airfield, Stimpfach, Baden-Württemberg, with the aircraft descending from 33,997 ft asl to 3,597 ft asl - a loss of 30,399 ft - in 22 minutes and covering 118 nm.
The first final approach to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport reduced altitude from 1,338 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 94 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
A go-around was executed on runway 28 at LSZH when the aircraft reached 17 ft agl, prompting a climb back to circuit altitude.
A second final approach to the same runway then lowered altitude from 1,376 ft agl to 78 ft agl in 97 seconds, again achieving a score on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 28, which is 2,486 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 58 ft agl slightly above target and a threshold speed of 142 kt. Touchdown was recorded 331 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 136 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 130 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.7 m from the centreline. Local conditions at the time were 18 °C temperature, wind 2 kt from 250°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,724 m, representing 69 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout was misaligned by 8.6 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 349 nm, taking 72 minutes and consuming 7,237 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 93.1%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 151 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the landing. However, the touchdown rate of -308 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable descent during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 168°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,590 meters was 40% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have deviated slightly from the intended path during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing, and the aircraft performed well in the given weather conditions.
