Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 8.1° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,897 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,897 m of the 2,312 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWI Innsbruck Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 26, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 140 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Birgitz, Tirol, Austria. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 2,910 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 18,058 feet, an increase of 15,148 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute cruise, but this was short-lived as it soon began its first descent, this time from 18,057 feet to 16,093 feet, a decrease of 1,964 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, making several changes in altitude and direction. It leveled off again overhead Sankt Ulrich am Pillersee, Tirol, Austria, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another descent, this time from 16,094 feet to 15,543 feet, a decrease of 551 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off once more, this time 1 mile north west of Muehlbach am Hochkoenig, Salzburg, Austria, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles.
The final descent took place 2 miles north east of Wagrain, Salzburg, Austria, from an altitude of 15,068 feet to a landing altitude of 1,961 feet, a decrease of 13,107 feet in just 8 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport, approaching from the south east at a heading of 336.0°, 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 529 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 33, which had a length of 2,312 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 148 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 141 knots, and the touchdown point was 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 280°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,826 meters, which was 79% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, and the flight took 31 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of -1,501 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LOWS Salzburg Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 336.0° at 1 nautical mile and 529 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 33, which has a length of 2,312 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. However, the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly earlier than necessary.
The touchdown point was 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -156 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill in aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 1,826 meters, which is 79% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the pilot's performance was commendable. However, there is always room for improvement, and the pilot may want to consider adjusting their flare technique to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed.
