Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
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 163 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 363 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,658 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,658 m of the 2,895 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 694 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bremen Airport (EDDW), the Airbus A321 began its journey on runway 27, taking 4 minutes to taxi to the runway and cover less than 1 nautical mile. The takeoff roll commenced at 160 kt, with a distance of 1,890 meters, utilizing 93% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 14 °C and a wind of 9 kt at 260°, resulting in a 9 kt headwind and a negligible crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to 11,274 meters above sea level, it traversed 178 nautical miles in 24 minutes, increasing its altitude by 10,970.2 meters. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 8 miles south-east of Stege, Denmark, and lasted 47 minutes, covering 395 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent from 11,277 meters above sea level to 479 meters above sea level, a decrease of 10,798.6 meters in 21 minutes, covering 132 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at Helsinki Vantaa Airport (EFHK) was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 153.0° at 4 nautical miles and 428.6 meters above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 15, with a total landing distance of 1,571 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway. The touchdown point was 271 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 kt, slightly above the target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. Following a smooth touchdown rate of -0.6 m/s, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 713 nautical miles, with a flight duration of 103 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,618 kg.
The final approach to runway 15 at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport from the north west was conducted with a heading of 153.0° at 4 nm and 428.6 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 17.9 meters above ground level being slightly above the target. The threshold speed of 142 knots was also slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 271 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 133 knots was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.6 meters per second, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and a headwind of 6 knots, did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,571 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 93.7%, reflecting a satisfactory performance with some minor deviations from the target parameters.
