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 4.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 71 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 71 ft, 26 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 437 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at Munich Airport, taking 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26R, with a takeoff distance of 1,166 meters, which was 29% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 98°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 2,501 feet above sea level to 33,909 feet, an increase of 31,408 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south east of Dietersheim, lasting 49 minutes and covering 330 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 18 miles north west of Koksijde, Belgium, descending from 34,030 feet to 9,050 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. The descent continued from 9,009 feet to 3,045 feet in 5 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles, starting overhead Sedlescombe, England.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time lasting 5 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, starting overhead Penshurst, England. The final approach to runway 26L at London Gatwick Airport was made from the east, heading 258.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,424 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 26L, which was 2,495 meters long. The threshold height was well above target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 439 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 180°. The crosswind was 18 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,425 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centreline.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 528 nautical miles, taking 109 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,180 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,424 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 439 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further during the approach. The touchdown rate was firm at -307 feet per minute (fpm), which is within the acceptable range.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 9.0 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,425 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the touchdown position and the rollout phase, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
