Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 2.7°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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 1,788 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,788 m of the 3,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 701 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 23L at Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), with a takeoff distance of 1,141 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 14 knots. After departing from Düsseldorf, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took the aircraft up to an altitude of 14,908 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, took 7 minutes and involved an increase in altitude of 13,764 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 43 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile east of Bruggen, a town in the Nordrhein-Westfalen region of Germany. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Olne, a town in the Wallonia region of Belgium. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 14,967 feet to 2,492 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,475 feet, over a distance of 60 nautical miles, and took 13 minutes.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport (ELUX). The approach was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 240 degrees at an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 220 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 24, which had a length of 3,989 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 132 nautical miles and took 41 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,542 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a high score of 94.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 285 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots. This speed is also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate was firm at -387 feet per minute (fpm), which is a good indication of the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The runway length at ELLX is 3,989 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance was 1,707 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot's approach and touchdown were well-executed. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft landing safely and efficiently.
