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 15 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 142 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 47 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 323 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 142 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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 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 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 514 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,616 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 185 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of EDDM Munich Airport and climbing from an altitude of 2,502 feet above sea level to 35,907 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,405 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 145 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Mombris, Bavaria, Germany, and lasting for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile north of Margut, Grand Est, France, and descending from 36,308 feet above sea level to 11,435 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,873 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Crepy-en-Valois, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Fontaine-Chaalis, Hauts-de-France, France, and descending from 11,335 feet above sea level to 1,830 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,504 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was made from the west, heading 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,462 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09L, which has a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 388 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,089 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.9 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 424 nautical miles, taking a total of 82 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,621 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.8%. The final approach to runway 09L was initiated from the west, with a heading of 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,462 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly above the optimal speed, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,089 meters was within 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal conditions. The pilots' skills and experience were likely sufficient to handle the aircraft safely, but there is room for improvement in terms of precision and alignment during the landing and rollout phases.
