Flight Score
Slow down before tight turns
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 436 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EDDW Bremen Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27 the aircraft used 1,064 m of runway, representing 46 % of the available length, and lifted off at 142 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 299°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
Climb commenced overhead Stuhr, rising from 729 ft asl to 30,439 ft asl, an altitude gain of 29,710 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 138 nm.
The first level cruise began 2 miles north-west of Kyritz, lasted 24 minutes and spanned 196 nm.
Descent started 2 miles north-west of Trzemeszno, descending from 31,004 ft asl to 3,276 ft asl, a loss of 27,729 ft over 18 minutes and 105 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Leszno, lasting 3 minutes and covering 10 nm.
The final approach to runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 114.0°, intercepting the approach at 4 nm and 1,355 ft agl.
Touchdown on runway 11, whose length is 2,796 m, occurred with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 kt. The aircraft touched down after 436 m, at a speed of 127 kt, which was slightly fast, and with a vertical speed of minus 139 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 16 °C with wind 4 kt from 10°, a cross-wind of 4 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,284 m, equal to 46 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 8.2 m.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 456 nm, lasted 77 minutes and consumed 7,191 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 114.0° at 4 nm and 1,355 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the runway length of 2,796 m provided a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was good at 134 kt. The aircraft touched down 436 m from the threshold, a distance judged good.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 127 kt, described as a little fast, with a smooth vertical rate of -139 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1,284 m, representing 46 % of the runway.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
To refine the already high score of 97.2 %, a modest reduction in touchdown speed would bring the aircraft closer to the target VREF, and tighter centreline tracking on touchdown and during rollout would eliminate the small lateral offsets observed.
