Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 420 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 180 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,249 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,249 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,272 m past the threshold — beyond 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 approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 24 at ELLX Luxembourg-Findel International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,723 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 91°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Kirchberg, Luxembourg. The climb took 18 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 626 meters above sea level to 10,632 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,005.9 meters. The enroute climb covered a distance of 81 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile east of Budenheim, Germany. This cruise lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 66 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north east of Assamstadt, Germany. The descent took 11 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 10,666 meters above sea level to 3,575 meters above sea level, a decrease of 7,090.6 meters. The enroute descent covered a distance of 74 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Pottmes, Germany. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Petershausen, Germany. The descent took 7 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,355 meters above sea level to 1,213 meters above sea level, a decrease of 2,142.2 meters. The final descent covered a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile north of Hohenpolding, Germany. This cruise lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport, approaching from the east at a heading of 263.0° and at an altitude of 390.1 meters above ground level.
The landing on runway 26R was successful, with a touchdown point 860 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 134 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -0.5 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 56°. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,172 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 282 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,458 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed on runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport with a score of 87.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 263.0° at an altitude of 390.1 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was located 860 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.5 meters per second was smooth.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 56°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 2,172 meters was 54% of the available runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.4 meters from the centerline. These minor deviations from the centerline may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach and landing procedures.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, there is room for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the centerline during the approach and rollout phases.
