Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,648 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,648 m of the 3,494 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 464 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EPKK Kraków John Paul II International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, and the takeoff distance was 1,227 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 19°C temperature and a wind speed of 0 knots at 9°. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with. The enroute climb began overhead Morawica, a town in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,839 feet above sea level to 24,123 feet above sea level, an increase of 22,284 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Soblowka, a town in the Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. This phase lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles northeast of Myjava, a town in the Trencin region of Slovakia. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 24,262 feet above sea level to 1,886 feet above sea level, a decrease of 22,376 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 29, which had a length of 3,494 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -319 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots at 280°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,564 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 179 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 2,155 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 296.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,284 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 29, which has a length of 3,494 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -319 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 464 meters was good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,564 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the entire process.
