Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 161 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 133 kt against a target of 161 kt, running 28 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 161 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 5.8 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at EDDN Nuremberg Airport in 8 minutes, covering a ground distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the Airbus A319 accelerated over 1,664 m, representing 62 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 133 kt. Ambient conditions were 26 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 099°, resulting in a 2 kt headwind and no cross-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile east of EDDN, with the flight ascending from 1,987 ft asl to 24,014 ft asl, a gain of 22,027 ft achieved in 11 minutes while covering 63 nm.
Level cruise began about 1 mile north of Markt Einersheim and continued for 17 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 121 nm at the assigned cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated over Mittelstrimmig, reducing altitude from 24,022 ft asl to 2,456 ft asl, a loss of 21,566 ft in 14 minutes and a ground distance of 78 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport was flown from the southwest on a heading of 60.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,257 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 06, whose length is 3,986 m, with a threshold speed of 130 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 61 m beyond the touchdown zone at 120 kt, a vertical speed of 19 fpm, and was laterally offset by 4.0 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 20 °C, wind 6 kt from 020°, providing a 5 kt headwind and a 4 kt cross-wind. The total landing distance measured 1,282 m, equivalent to 32 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was described as very good, and the aircraft decelerated within the remaining runway length after touchdown.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 271 nm, required 56 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,375 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 established the final approach to runway 06 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport from the south-west, tracking a heading of 60.0° at 4 NM and 1,257 ft AGL while the ambient temperature was 20 °C, wind 6 kt from 020°, with a 4 kt cross-component and a 5 kt headwind component.
The threshold height was reported as good and the aircraft crossed the threshold at a speed of 130 kt, which the data rates as good.
Touchdown occurred 61 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt, described as good, with a vertical rate of 19 fpm, noted as perfect. The touchdown point was laterally offset by 4.0 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered 1,282 m, representing 32 % of the 3,986 m runway, and the runway alignment during rollout was described as very good.
Future landings would benefit from targeting the touchdown zone more precisely to reduce the 61 m overshoot and from tightening lateral control to keep the touchdown point within a few metres of the centreline.
