Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 152 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 134 kt against a target of 152 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 152 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 132 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 309 fpm.
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 1,894 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,894 m of the 3,105 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 05, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,785-meter-long runway, which represented 64% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots, overcoming the local headwind of 3 knots and crosswind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Hamburg, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,773 feet above sea level in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 86 nautical miles. The climb phase started overhead Fuhlsbuettel, a suburb of Hamburg, and continued until the aircraft reached the enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead Plattenburg, a town in the state of Brandenburg, Germany. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 370 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 1 mile north of Zakopane, a town in southern Poland, and lasted 15 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 31,023 feet to 2,110 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Košice International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 12.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,354 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on the 3,105-meter-long runway, touching down 198 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -190 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 542 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,378 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 1 hour and 31 minutes.
The final approach to runway 01 at LZKZ Košice International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 12.0° at 4 nm and 1,354 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing configuration.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 198 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -190 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 360°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a negligible crosswind and a moderate headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,809 m was 58% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.3%.
