Flight Score
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.
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 2,078 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,078 m of the 3,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 567 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 10 at Lamezia Terme Airport (LICA), with a takeoff distance of 1,323 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 69 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Lamezia Terme Airport and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,048 feet above sea level to 35,897 feet, an increase of 34,850 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 115 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles south of Colliano, Italy, and lasted for 55 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 406 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles east of Flachau, Austria, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,355 feet to 2,943 feet, a decrease of 32,412 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then initiated another climb, this time from 2,944 feet to 2,811 feet, an increase of 133 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08R at Munich Airport (EDDM) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 83.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,328 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 111 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 08R, with the aircraft touching down 154 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and winds of 1 knot at 0 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 2,000 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 635 nautical miles and lasted for 120 minutes, using 5,769 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,328 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the designated runway.
Upon landing, the threshold height was found to be above the target, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly higher than intended. However, the threshold speed was only slightly above the target, at 136 knots. This suggests that the pilot maintained a relatively high speed during the approach, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown height.
The touchdown point was located 154 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed during the approach. The touchdown rate was firm, at -326 feet per minute (fpm), which is a relatively high rate of descent.
Despite these minor deviations, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 0°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing even more challenging.
The total landing distance was 2,000 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a relatively short distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft was able to stop within a relatively short distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the target, including a slightly higher touchdown height and speed, and a firm touchdown rate.
