Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 1,609 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,609 m of the 2,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 420 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDW Bremen Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 27, and the takeoff distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 25 knots at 289 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 23 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Stuhr, a town in Lower Saxony, Germany, and the aircraft ascended from 1,047 feet above sea level to 31,039 feet, a total increase of 29,992 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead EDBG Burg Airfield Burg bei Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, and lasted for 14 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles north of EDBR Rothenburg/Görlitz Airfield Rothenburg/Oberlausitz in Saxony, Germany, and the aircraft descended from 30,894 feet to 1,762 feet, a decrease of 29,132 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at EPWR Copernicus Wrocław Airport was made from the southeast, heading 295.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,348 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,494 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 138 knots, while the touchdown distance was 420 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -217 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 250 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,529 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 332 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 3,181 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EPWR Copernicus Wrocław Airport, achieving a high score of 99.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 295.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,348 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 29, which has a length of 2,494 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 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 420 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate. The touchdown rate of -217 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down with a reasonable rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 250°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 4 knots, which was relatively light and did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 1,529 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway.
