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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 3.1°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 325 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.
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LOWS Salzburg Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 33, with a takeoff distance of 1,422 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -0°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 239 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Freilassing in Bavaria, Germany. The climb from 2,441 feet above sea level to 12,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,566 feet, was achieved in 6 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles southwest of Engelsberg, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 2 miles south of Aschau am Inn, with the aircraft descending from 12,009 feet above sea level to 5,016 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,994 feet, in 8 minutes and covering 34 nautical miles. Another level cruise was initiated 1 mile north of Karlsfeld, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 4 nautical miles. The final descent started 1 mile west of Haimhausen, with the aircraft descending from 4,797 feet above sea level to 2,922 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,875 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,442 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08R, which had a length of 3,987 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, and touchdown speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -343 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,311 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 87 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 35 minutes. The aircraft used 1,509 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,442 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 359 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the desired range, and the touchdown rate of -343 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The runway length of 3,987 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,311 meters, which was only 33% of the available runway.
The pilot's skill and expertise were evident in the perfect runway touchdown alignment and the subsequent rollout alignment. The aircraft remained aligned with the runway centerline throughout the landing and rollout phases, demonstrating a high level of control and precision. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe aircraft landing.
