Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.3°.
What happened: The wings held 2.3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 2.1° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,989 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 a departure roll from runway 24 at Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, ELLX. The Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 136 meters, which is just 3% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 141 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed out of Luxembourg, it encountered local weather conditions of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from 150 degrees. The crosswind component was also 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible. The enroute climb started overhead Luxembourg, where the aircraft climbed from 1,936 feet above sea level to 2,606 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 6 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 1 mile southwest of Luxembourg.
As the aircraft approached the destination, it began its final approach to runway 24 at ELLX. The approach was made from the north-east, heading 238.0 degrees, at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24 was notable for several factors. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 149 knots. The touchdown point was 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 141 knots, which is considered fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -177 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,395 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used 387 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and efficient takeoff, climb, cruise, and landing, with minimal deviations from the target parameters.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 24 was initiated from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,346 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 163 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 141 knots was faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit more braking than necessary. However, the touchdown rate of -177 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, suggesting that the aircraft was brought to a safe stop in a relatively short distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 4 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. The runway length at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport is 3,989 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 1,395 meters was 35% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop without any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 96.2%. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, including a slightly faster touchdown speed and a touchdown point beyond the designated zone.
