Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 2.7°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 273 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,839 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,839 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 476 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 32 at LYTV Tivat Airport in Montenegro. The takeoff distance was 1,236 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 6 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 39,240 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,224 feet from the initial altitude of 1,016 feet above sea level. This climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Mrcevac, a location in Tivat, Montenegro. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, which began 3 miles southwest of Jajce, a location in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This level cruise lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 204 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from an altitude of 38,843 feet above sea level to 5,077 feet above sea level. This descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. The descent started 5 miles north of Deutsch Griffen, a location in Kaernten, Austria. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which began 2 miles east of Taufkirchen, a location in Bavaria, Germany. This level cruise lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 1 mile northwest of Inning am Holz, a location in Bavaria, Germany. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 4,629 feet above sea level to 2,793 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 264.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 26L, which has a length of 3,987 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 59 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -308 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 260 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,757 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 468 nautical miles, and the flight took 96 minutes. The aircraft used 4,236 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 26L at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 264.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,310 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly higher than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -308 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,757 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and flare technique to achieve an even smoother and more controlled landing.
