Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 597 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from its parking spot to the runway at the Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF). This process took approximately six minutes and covered a distance of one nautical mile (nm). The departure roll then began on runway 25, and the aircraft successfully took off, covering a takeoff distance of 1,265 meters. At this point, the aircraft was 44% along the runway's length, and it reached a liftoff speed of 163 knots.
The local weather conditions at this time were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (°C), with wind blowing at 10 knots from 230 degrees. The crosswind was relatively weak at 3 knots, but the headwind was strong at 10 knots. With these conditions, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started as the aircraft cleared the airport's airspace, located at an elevation of 1,011 feet above mean sea level (asl).
The climb, which spanned from 1,011 ft asl to 36,579 ft asl, represented an increase of 35,568 ft in 24 minutes. During this period, the aircraft traveled 155 nm. The climb rate was steady, and the aircraft remained on course throughout the climb.
Following the climb, the aircraft levelled off and engaged in level cruise flight for 20 minutes. This segment spanned approximately 149 nm of distance, with the aircraft flying about one mile east of Monterenzio, a town located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. After cruising at this level for 20 minutes, the aircraft began its descent, which started five miles west of Moso in Passiria, another Italian town located in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.
As the aircraft began its descent from 36,766 ft asl, it decreased by 31,871 ft in just 17 minutes, traveling a distance of 102 nm. This rapid descent suggests that the aircraft was on a course to land, and the pilots were closely monitoring the aircraft's altitude and speed.
In preparation for landing, the aircraft levelled off once more at 2,764 ft asl, having descended from 4,801 ft asl over a distance of seven nautical miles. This brief level flight lasted just two minutes.
The aircraft then commenced its final approach to Munich Airport's runway 26L. With the runway located on the east side of the airport, the aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading at a speed of about 4 nm. As it descended from 4,801 ft asl, the aircraft was at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon approaching the runway, the aircraft began to land on runway 26L, which is 3,987 meters long and is equipped with a touchdown zone. The threshold height was 69 ft agl and above target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 140 kt. Although the touchdown was not exactly as planned, the pilots were able to bring the aircraft to a safe landing.
The aircraft's touch down point was located 177 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 kt, which was considered satisfactory, while the touchdown rate was fair at -238 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment, however, was considered to be very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with wind blowing at 14 knots from 280 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. With these conditions in mind, the pilots successfully landed the aircraft, which covered a total landing distance of 995 meters or 25% of the runway's length.
Following the landing, the pilots brought the aircraft to a safe stop,
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Munich Airport, EDDM, on runway 26L. The final approach was initiated from an altitude of 1,287 feet (393 meters) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, heading 264.0 degrees. The flight crew navigated the aircraft to establish the correct approach configuration, taking into account various factors such as wind direction and airspeed.
Upon reaching the runway threshold at 69 feet (21 meters) above ground level, it was noted that the aircraft's height was slightly above the target height. Similarly, the aircraft's speed at touchdown was 140 knots, slightly exceeding the target value. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was landed within the desired speed parameters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's nose wheel touched down 177 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. Despite the slightly extended landing distance, the actual landing distance of 995 meters was only 25% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed and rate of descent were also analyzed, with the plane experiencing a fair rate of descent of -238 feet per minute.
During the landing roll phase, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills by the flight crew. Additionally, the local weather conditions played a role in the successful landing, with a relatively calm temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and moderate winds of 14 knots from 280 degrees. Crosswind and headwind values were noted to be 4 kt and 13 kt, respectively. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with minor deviations from target parameters.
