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 1,630 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,630 m of the 3,037 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, where the Airbus A321 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,019 meters, which is 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 191 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Leinfelden-Echterdingen, a town in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The climb began at an altitude of 2,325 feet above sea level and increased to 3,286 feet, a rise of 961 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles, starting 1 mile east of Steinenbronn.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Ebersbach an der Fils, another town in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The descent from 4,012 feet above sea level to 2,836 feet, a decrease of 1,176 feet in 2 minutes, covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport was made from the east, heading 254.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,599 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 385 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -40 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 0 knots at 189 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 414 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 25 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,599 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 120 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 385 meters was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 112 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the safe limits. The most impressive aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -40 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 0 knots. The wind direction was 189°, but it did not pose any significant challenge to the pilot. The crosswind and headwind components were both zero, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 1,545 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a safe and efficient approach and landing. The pilot's attention to detail and ability to maintain a smooth and controlled descent resulted in a perfect score.
