Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 151 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 168 kt against a rotation target of 151 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 151 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 2.4 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 2.4 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 152 m gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 500 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Košice International Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 19, with the aircraft lifting off after covering 58% of the runway's length, which was 1,804 meters. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 196 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north-west of the LZKI Haniska Airstrip in Kosice, Slovakia. The climb took 19 minutes to reach an altitude of 11,574 meters, an increase of 11,042.1 meters from the initial altitude of 532 meters. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles north-east of Zlate Moravce in Nitra, Slovakia, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 225 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile north-east of Tarsdorf in Oberoesterreich, Austria. The descent took 17 minutes to reduce the altitude from 11,350 meters to 846 meters, a decrease of 10,504.8 meters. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 84.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 394.8 meters above ground level. The landing took place on the 3,987-meter-long runway, with the threshold height being good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 131 knots.
The touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 63 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,438 meters, which was 36% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 431 nautical miles, taking 54 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,555 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 84.0° at an altitude of 394.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 131 knots, registering at 131 kt. However, the touchdown speed of 125 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -1.2 meters per second was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more gently.
The touchdown point was 81 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 11°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 63°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,438 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down quickly and efficiently, with minimal use of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown point were not significant enough to impact the overall safety of the landing.
