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 6.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,847 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 375 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 164 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 360 degrees, and a crosswind of 0 knots with a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead the Idroscalo Milan, a location in Lombardia, Italy. The enroute climb began at an altitude of 1,386 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 34,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,619 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started approximately 1 mile north west of Rossiniere, a location in the Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, and lasted for 50 minutes, covering a distance of 311 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from an altitude of 33,162 feet above sea level to 2,486 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,676 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise was restarted overhead Velsen-Zuid, a location in the Provincie Noord-Holland, The Netherlands, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18C at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was made from the north, heading 184.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,719 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 18C, which had a length of 2,847 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, and a crosswind of 1 knot with a headwind of 3 knots. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 136 knots, but the touchdown distance was good at 377 meters. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,157 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 546 nautical miles, taking a total of 105 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,409 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 184.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,719 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of -3°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 170°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 18C, which has a length of 2,847 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 140 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 377 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -331 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,157 meters, which accounts for 41% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
The most notable aspect of this landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was described as "very good." This suggests that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and safe transition from the landing to the taxiing phase. Overall, this landing was a success, with the pilot executing a precise and controlled approach, touchdown, and rollout.
