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 6.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport, covering 3 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used 2,531 m of runway, representing 71 % of the available length, and lifted off at 168 kt. Local weather at the time was 30 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 326°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 mile south-west of RPLL, ascending from 1,094 ft asl to 34,692 ft asl - an increase of 33,597 ft - over 21 minutes while covering 136 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced overhead Sablan in the Cordillera Administrative Region and lasted 3 minutes, during which 27 nm were flown.
A second climb started 11 miles west of Balaoan, raising the aircraft from 35,518 ft asl to 36,643 ft asl, an increase of 1,125 ft in 2 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The first descent of the flight began 24 miles west of Bangar, descending from 36,635 ft asl to 35,910 ft asl - a loss of 726 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 13 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase originated 34 miles west of Candon, lasting 25 minutes and encompassing 194 nm.
The next descent segment started 85 miles south-east of RCLM Dongsha Island Airport, dropping from 35,552 ft asl to 35,081 ft asl, a decrease of 471 ft in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
A brief cruise followed 74 miles south of the same airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 13 nm.
A further climb began 62 miles south of RCLM Dongsha Island Airport, climbing from 35,027 ft asl to 35,537 ft asl - an increase of 510 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The final descent of the en-route phase started 52 miles south of RCLM Dongsha Island Airport, descending from 35,537 ft asl to 1,983 ft asl, a loss of 33,555 ft in 2 minutes while covering 14 nm.
The aircraft entered the final approach to the landing ground 39 miles south of RCLM Dongsha Island Airport, proceeding from 1 nm to 1 nm at 1,594 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred 39 miles south of RCLM Dongsha Island Airport at a speed of 201 kt, which was noted as excessively fast. The aircraft landed before the threshold with a very heavy touchdown rate of minus 23,183 fpm. Local weather at landing was 28 °C with a wind of 21 kt from 109°, producing a cross-wind component of 17 kt and a tail-wind component of 14 kt.
In total, the flight covered 438 nm, took 67 minutes, and consumed 3,357 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 05R, which has a length of 10,964 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 388 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate of -249 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the landing phase. Despite this, 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 at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 86°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which reduced the risk of crosswind or tailwind effects on the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,685 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a relatively short distance. The high score of 98.9% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance during the landing phase.
