Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 154 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
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.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

2 landings
The flight is kept as it was recorded: it ends when the engine is shut down, so a landing with the rotors turning is a stop along the way, not a new flight.
| # | Where | Into flight | Touchdown | Ground speed | Sideways | On the ground |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 mile north west of Hallbergmoos (Bavaria, Germany) | 4:19 | 672 ft/min | 9.6 kt | 4.3 kt | 0:10 |

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,606 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,606 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague was the departure point, where the Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to the runway in 34 minutes, covering 7 nm. The aircraft commenced its take-off roll on runway 30, achieving liftoff at 151 kt after a ground run of 1,430 m, representing 44 % of the available runway. Ambient conditions recorded a temperature of 26 °C, wind 11 kt from 20 °, with a crosswind component of 11 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.
Climbing from the Czech Republic, the flight gained 13,841 ft between 2,114 ft and 15,955 ft asl in 6 minutes while traversing 25 nm, followed by a level cruise segment east of Hrebecniky that lasted 7 minutes and covered 43 nm. A subsequent climb over Dlazov increased altitude from 16,400 ft to 24,959 ft, a gain of 8,559 ft in 3 minutes across 19 nm. The descent phase began 2 mi northwest of Geiersthal, dropping from 24,647 ft to 11,006 ft (a loss of 13,641 ft) in 7 minutes over 34 nm, then a brief cruise east of Loiching for 2 minutes covering 7 nm before the final descent west of Niederaichbach, reducing altitude from 11,009 ft to 2,762 ft (8,246 ft) in 5 minutes across 21 nm.
Approach and landing were conducted at EDDM Munich Airport on runway 26R, with the final approach from the east on a heading of 264.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl. The aircraft touched down after a ground roll of 455 m, with a touchdown speed of 131 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 266 fpm; the threshold speed was recorded at 137 kt. Total landing distance measured 1,534 m, equivalent to 38 % of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The overall flight covered 164nm, taking 44, and used minus 1,119 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport was conducted from the east on a heading of 264.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl, achieving a score of 99.5 %. Good threshold height was reported, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 137 kt.
Landing on runway 26R, which measures 3,989 m, the aircraft touched down 455 m from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 131 kt, noted as a little fast, and a touchdown rate of minus 266 fpm, described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and runway rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather conditions included a temperature of 22 °C, wind 6 kt from 260 °, with a crosswind component of 0 kt and a headwind component of 6 kt. The total landing distance recorded was 1,534 m, representing 38 % of the runway.
