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 8.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.

Plan view — the first 1,599 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport (EDDM). This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,002 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 240°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport and continued for 21 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,507 feet above sea level to 31,228 feet. This climb covered a distance of 139 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles west of the town of Aura im Sinngrund. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of the town of Kall. The descent took 16 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 31,186 feet to 1,444 feet. This descent covered a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The final approach to Brussels Airport (EBBR) took place on runway 25L, with the aircraft approaching from the east at a heading of 250.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 240°, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 8 knots.
The landing took place on the 3,082-meter-long runway 25L, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 129 knots. The touchdown distance was 315 meters, which was a good result. The touchdown rate was, however, hard at -424 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 338 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 70 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,703 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters, which is within the expected range. The touchdown speed was also good at 129 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -424 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight loss of control during the landing phase.
Despite the hard touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a headwind of 8 knots at 240°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 1,515 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed the landing with precision and control. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A321 aircraft's landing at Brussels Airport (EBBR) was a success, with a high score of 97.7%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled landing, despite the slight hard touchdown rate.
