Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 2°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,303 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 324 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,396 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 82°. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. After departing from LOWW Vienna International Airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,659 feet above sea level to 23,347 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,688 feet in 10 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Dunajska Luzna, Bratislava, Slovakia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 4 miles southeast of Senec, Bratislava, Slovakia, climbing from 23,364 feet above sea level to 27,519 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,156 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 52 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of Lehota pod Vtacnikom, Trencin, Slovakia, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Oravsky Podzamok, Zilina, Slovakia, with the aircraft descending from 27,499 feet above sea level to 2,067 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,432 feet in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 55 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25 at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25 took place with a runway length of 2,303 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 134 knots, while the touchdown distance was 325 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -304 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 180°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,103 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 197 nautical miles, taking 50 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,752 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 25, which has a length of 2,303 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 325 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 3 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 1,103 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a high score of 99.1%.
