The flight in question began with a taxiing period that lasted six minutes, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile (nm) at Airbus A320 aircraft. It departed from runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,814 meters (60% of the runway length). The aircraft achieved a liftoff speed of 161 knots (kt) at this stage.
The local weather conditions at takeoff were relatively mild, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind speed of 2 knots from the 198-degree direction. Although there was a crosswind component, it was minimal at 2 kt, and the aircraft encountered a tailwind of about 1 kt.
Following a brief takeoff roll, the aircraft initiated an enroute climb from 2,291 feet above sea level (asl) to 26,351 ft asl in 11 minutes, increasing the altitude by a significant margin of 24,060 ft. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 64 nm. The aircraft transitioned to a level cruise at approximately 11 nautical miles north west of Meitingen, Bayer region, Germany, a brief period of two minutes was spent at 26,351 ft, as the aircraft covered another 13 nm before initiating another climb phase.
Enroute climb started 1 mile north of Adelzhausen, and as the aircraft transitioned through a series of level cruises before reaching the cruise altitude of 32,949 ft asl. The level cruise lasted for 13 minutes as the aircraft covered 101 nm. Climbing from 28,684 ft asl took another 5 minutes, covering a distance of 38nm before a descent was initiated.
Descent started 2 miles south-west of Radenthein, and it took approximately 19 minutes to descend from 33,060 ft asl to 1,550 ft asl, a decrease of 31,509 ft in altitude. This phase of the flight covered a distance of 97 nm.
As the aircraft began its final descent, it started its approach from a northwest direction towards runway 14 at LDRI Rijeka Airport, maintaining a steady heading of 144.0°.
Upon reaching the final approach, the aircraft had an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl) and was located 4 nm from the runway. The local weather conditions for this descent phase indicated a higher temperature (22°C), a wind speed of 13 kt, and a wind direction of 40°.
Touchdown occurred with minimal deviations; landing speed was slightly faster than desired at 136 kt, and the touch-down rate of -429 feet per minute was harder than expected. Despite these minor anomalies, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Upon touching down on runway 14, with a length of 2,498 meters, the total landing distance covered 1,102 meters (44% of the runway length). Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during landing.
The post-landing procedures included a taxiing period of two minutes to the parking area, covering a distance of less than one nm. The overall total flight distance covered 320 nautical miles, and with a flight duration of 1 hour and 1 minute, it consumed 2,470 kg of fuel.

The recent landing of an Airbus A320 at LDRI Rijeka Airport showcased impressive piloting skills and adherence to safety protocols. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 14 after transitioning from a northwest heading of 144.0° at an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was notable for its precision, with a smooth and controlled descent that ultimately led to a successful landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold height, demonstrating a high level of control and awareness of the aircraft's position relative to the runway. The threshold speed of 139 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilots effectively managed the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 260 meters was also satisfactory, further emphasizing the pilots' adherence to safety protocols.
However, there were a few minor discrepancies that need to be addressed. The touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly higher than anticipated, indicating that the pilots may have been able to further reduce the aircraft's speed before touchdown. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -429 ft/min was classified as hard, suggesting that the pilots may have applied excessive reverse thrust or brake pressure upon touchdown.
Despite these minor concerns, the overall performance of the pilots during the landing was exceptional. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for safe and controlled operations. Meanwhile, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a relatively low wind speed of 13 kt from a direction of 40°. The slight crosswind component of 12 kt was effectively managed by the pilots, who maintained a stable approach and touchdown.
The final aspect of the landing worth highlighting was the successful rollout. The runway rollout alignment was extremely good, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain directional control and stabilize the aircraft even after touchdown. Overall, the landing of the Airbus A320 at LDRI Rijeka Airport served as a testament to the exceptional skill and situational awareness of the pilots, with a total landing distance of 1,102 meters or 44% of the available runway. This performance is a high achievement and a credit to the pilots and the airport's air traffic control team.
