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 14 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 166 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 414 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 2,091 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,676 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 50°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started over Frankfurt Airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,341 feet above sea level to 35,902 feet, an increase of 34,561 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which began over Hessisch Oldendorf in Germany and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile west of Kronsgaard in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 35,845 feet to 4,114 feet, a decrease of 31,732 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Havdrup in Denmark and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile north of Flong in Denmark, where the aircraft descended from 3,911 feet to 2,936 feet, a decrease of 975 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Gundsomagle in Denmark and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Rodovre in Denmark, where the aircraft descended from 2,807 feet to 1,315 feet, a decrease of 1,492 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at Copenhagen Kastrup Airport (EKCH) was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 125.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,293 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 2,091 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -389 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 15 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 15 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,164 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 410 nautical miles, which was covered in 94 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,539 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, with a score of 89.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 125.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,293 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a landing on runway 12, which has a length of 2,091 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -389 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 120°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 15 knots, which had a minimal impact on the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The total landing distance was 1,164 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired parameters. The aircraft's score of 89.9% reflects these minor issues, but the landing was still considered safe and controlled.
