Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 7.9°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EDDM Munich Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 08L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 37% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,492 meters, and the liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was also 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,479 feet above sea level to 22,444 feet, an increase of 19,965 feet in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Mehrnbach, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another climb 1 mile northwest of Hohenzell, Austria, ascending from 22,922 feet to 24,489 feet in 2 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase resumed 1 mile northeast of Grieskirchen, Austria, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent overhead Pregarten, Austria, descending from 23,985 feet to 5,174 feet in 12 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started again 3 miles northeast of Harmannsdorf, Austria, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its final descent 2 miles west of Pillichsdorf, Austria, descending from 5,005 feet to 1,884 feet in 3 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 164.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 3,602 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 142 knots, and the touchdown point was 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 135 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -209 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and a wind speed of 11 knots at 150 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,084 meters, which was 30% of the runway's length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 206 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 2,181 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 16, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 164.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 142 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a slightly higher touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 150°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,084 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the perfect runway rollout alignment. This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a smooth and safe transition from the landing to the taxi phase. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Vienna International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
