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 3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.8°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 297 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 1,645 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,645 m of the 2,693 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 33 at LOWS Salzburg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,262 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 160 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Freilassing, a town in Bavaria, Germany. The climb started from an altitude of 2,444 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 23,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 21,551 feet in just 9 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 34 nautical miles during this climb phase.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Triftern, another town in Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 19 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 1 mile south of Mamming, a town in Bavaria, Germany. The descent phase was from an altitude of 23,998 feet above sea level to 2,327 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,671 feet in 17 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 76 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 279.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 28 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which was 58% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, and the touchdown rate was -434 feet per minute, which was considered hard. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots at 120 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 137 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 2,005 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) with a score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 456 meters was also within the expected range, demonstrating the pilots' ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. However, the touchdown rate of -434 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, 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 at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The total landing distance of 1,566 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and decision-making skills.
