Improve the taxi
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 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 to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 28 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN). The takeoff distance was 1,270 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 90°. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 3 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after departure, 1 mile west of Nuremberg Airport, and continued for 12 minutes. During this time, the aircraft climbed from 2,057 feet above sea level to 27,242 feet, an increase of 25,185 feet. The climb covered a distance of 64 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered 69 nautical miles. This phase started 3 miles north of Wurzbach, a town in Thuringia, Germany. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Eilenburg, a town in Saxony, Germany. The descent from 27,381 feet to 1,433 feet took 18 minutes and covered 68 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at Berlin Brandenburg Airport (EDDB) was made from the east, heading 249.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,269 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 438 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 277°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 5 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 208 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 2,373 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport on runway 24R, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,269 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 138 kt, registering at 139 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 438 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force. This is a desirable outcome, as it helps to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 16 kt from 277°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the headwind component was 14 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 1,387 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A321's landing at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 98.4% reflects the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing.
