Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 152 kt before liftoff.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 136 kt, 16 kt below the 152 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 152 kt at liftoff

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,135 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,135 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 520 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Innsbruck Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 741 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 136 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Innsbruck Airport and ascending from 2,919 feet above sea level to 28,335 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,416 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Thalgau, Austria, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles east of Kirchdorf an der Krems, Austria, and descending from 28,321 feet above sea level to 5,074 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,247 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile east of Michelhausen, Austria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Hernals, Austria, and descending from 4,758 feet above sea level to 1,904 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,854 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at Vienna International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 11, which had a length of 3,494 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at a direction of 110°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,052 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 223 nautical miles, taking 63 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,951 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) with a score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,306 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 11, which has a length of 3,494 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 101 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to bring the aircraft to a stop. The touchdown rate of -218 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.7 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 59% of the runway length, covering a total distance of 2,052 meters. The score of 97.8% reflects the pilots' ability to manage the aircraft effectively during the final approach and landing phases, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
