Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 137 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 184 kt against a rotation target of 137 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 137 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 12 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 12 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 12 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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 2,395 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 639 m past the threshold — beyond 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 26 at EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport. The takeoff distance was 696 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 184 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 21 knots at a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 18 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport. The climb took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 32 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,011 feet above sea level to 21,586 feet above sea level, an increase of 20,575 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north-east of Huise, Flanders, Belgium. This cruise phase lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Ensival, Wallonia, Belgium. The descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 21,559 feet above sea level to 3,319 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,240 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles east of EDLE Essen Mülheim Airport, Essen-Mülheim, Germany. This cruise phase lasted only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Essen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,974 feet above sea level to 1,445 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,529 feet.
The final approach to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 233.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23L was successful, with the touchdown point being 214 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 117 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 240 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,274 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 200 nautical miles, with the flight taking 50 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 1,796 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, achieving a score of 87.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 233.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 121 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The threshold height at 84 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 117 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the landing.
Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was smooth at -135 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. This suggests that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 240°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 19 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,274 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, while there were some minor areas for improvement, the Airbus A320 landed safely and efficiently on runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport.
