Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 149 kt before liftoff.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 133 kt, 16 kt below the 149 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 149 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 1,565 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,565 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport, with a takeoff distance of 842 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 133 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 15 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead Innsbruck in the Austrian state of Tirol. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,959 feet above sea level to 26,468 feet above sea level, an increase of 23,509 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 54 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Eichenau in the German state of Bavaria. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles east of Berg im Gau in Bavaria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 26,577 feet above sea level to 4,994 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,582 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 43 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead ED77 UL-Flugplatz Litzlohe Pilsach in Bavaria. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Offenhausen in Bavaria. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 4,604 feet above sea level to 2,325 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,278 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 279.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 2,693 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 269 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -489 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 0 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,486 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 146 nautical miles, and the flight took 36 minutes. The aircraft used 2,037 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a precise course for landing on runway 28, which has a length of 2,693 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -489 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained on course and aligned 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 3 knots from a direction of 0°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,486 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
