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 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 51 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 51 ft, 6.2 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,301 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 07C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,325 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 60°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 2 knots. After departing from Frankfurt, the enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 1,356 feet above sea level to 37,372 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,016 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began overhead Wolkramshausen, Thuringia, Germany, and lasted for 43 minutes, covering a distance of 313 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Dabrowice, Wojewodztwo Lodzkie, Poland, descending from 37,243 feet above sea level to 1,869 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,374 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Warsaw Chopin Airport (EPWA) was made from the southeast, heading 293.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,503 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 301 meters, which was good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at Warsaw Chopin Airport were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 513 nautical miles, taking 98 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,572 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 293.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,503 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 29, which has a length of 2,301 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, coming in at 136 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 301 meters, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but this did not compromise the safety of the landing. The touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 7 kt at 290°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind was 7 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in executing the landing.
Overall, the Airbus A320 landed safely and efficiently at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, with a high score of 98.4%. The minor deviations in threshold speed and touchdown speed did not significantly impact the performance of the landing, and the pilot's skill and precision were evident in the smooth and controlled rollout.
