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
Reduce power earlier on final so threshold speed settles at 136 kt instead of carrying it into the flare.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 146 kt, well above the 136 kt target speed, and that excess speed was still showing at touchdown. Crossing the threshold fast usually carries straight through to a fast touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 136 kt on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,870 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,870 m of the 3,138 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 485 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 EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,262 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 289°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 8 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Wlochy in the Masovian Voivodeship, Poland, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,382 feet above sea level to 37,636 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,254 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Sieroszewice in the Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. This phase of the flight lasted 47 minutes and covered a distance of 338 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Stimpfach in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, where it descended from 38,260 feet above sea level to 8,706 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,554 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting overhead Bad Durrheim in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent began 1 mile south east of Hufingen in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 8,491 feet above sea level to 2,797 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,694 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 14 at LSZH Zürich Airport was made from the north west, with a heading of 137.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,383 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 14, which has a length of 3,138 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -159 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 28°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 360°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,797 meters, which is 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 576 nautical miles, taking a total of 103 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,709 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Zürich Airport (LSZH) on runway 14, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 137.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,383 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good approach path, with a smooth transition into the final approach phase.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 77 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was well-managed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more straightforward. The runway length of 3,138 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,797 meters was 57% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing phase. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's decision-making were both exemplary, resulting in a successful landing and a high score of 98.4%.
