Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 20°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 301 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 346 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport. The takeoff distance was 879 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 25 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of LOWW Vienna International Airport, rising from 1,620 feet above sea level to 29,335 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,715 feet in 12 minutes and covering 61 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile west of Wang, Austria, and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Wolfsbach, Austria, and descended from 28,852 feet above sea level to 3,899 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,953 feet in 20 minutes and covering 98 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise 1 mile north of Velden, Germany, and remained at this altitude for 3 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent overhead Fraunberg, Germany, and descended from 3,770 feet above sea level to 2,731 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,039 feet in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, heading 264.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 26R, which has a length of 3,986 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 347 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -348 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 260 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 21 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,290 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 191 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 2,041 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 137 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown distance of 347 meters was within acceptable limits, demonstrating good control and precision during the landing. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown rate of -348 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and efficient landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 21 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance of 1,290 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained good control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
