Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 13°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 2,542 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 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 LOWW Vienna International Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft taking off after covering 41% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,440 meters, and the liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and winds of 10 knots at 348 degrees. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,623 feet above sea level to 30,198 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 68 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Trebetice, a location in the Jihocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic, and lasted for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 60 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile south east of Krupa, and descended from 29,899 feet above sea level to 24,359 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles in just 3 minutes.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Melnicke Vtelno, another location in the Stredocesky kraj region of the Czech Republic, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile east of Duba, and descended from 24,381 feet above sea level to 1,973 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles in 14 minutes.
The final approach to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport was made from the north east, with the aircraft heading 220.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,242 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,542 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 250 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -266 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 24°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 140 degrees, with a crosswind component of 6 knots and a headwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,247 meters, which was 49% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area from the runway in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 217 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,463 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at EDDC Dresden Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,242 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 22, which has a length of 2,542 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 132 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 250 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was fair, at -266 feet per minute (fpm), which is a reasonable rate considering the aircraft's weight and speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 4.8 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,247 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely and efficiently. However, there were a few minor issues, such as the slightly fast touchdown speed and the misaligned runway touchdown position. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice, and do not detract from the overall success of the landing.
