Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 215 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 334 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 8 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 1,062 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at 162 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 2,559 feet above sea level to 37,384 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,825 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 164 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile south of Freilassing in Bavaria, Germany. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north of Sirmione in Lombardia, Italy, and lasted for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 353 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 37,910 feet above sea level to 23,676 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,234 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. This descent started 84 miles northeast of Es Castell in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 30 miles northeast of Mao in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 23,632 feet above sea level to 3,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,362 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. This descent started 18 miles northeast of Alaior in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north of Maria de la Salut in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final descent began overhead Costitx in the Comunitat Autonoma de les Illes Balears, Spain, and took the aircraft from 3,102 feet above sea level to 1,450 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,652 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 238.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,419 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 334 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -318 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 166 degrees.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 670 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,419 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 24L, which has a length of 2,587 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilots had maintained control and were on track for a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 334 meters was within acceptable limits, further indicating that the pilots had executed the landing with precision.
However, the touchdown speed of 126 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -318 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control and were aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 166°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,396 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots had executed the landing with a good balance of speed and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots had maintained control and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop safely within a reasonable distance. The score of 97.2% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilots during the landing.
