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 6.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 141 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 151 kt against the 141 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 728 m against the 457 m target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 42 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,206 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,206 m of the 2,661 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 728 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 27, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,789 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 44 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 330 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,286 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 25,980 feet, an increase of 24,694 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 37 nautical miles. The cruise phase was initiated 11 miles east of Usehat, Uttar Pradesh, India. Subsequently, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles southeast of Sahaswan, Uttar Pradesh, India, and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The descent phase saw the aircraft decrease its altitude from 25,980 feet to 2,003 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached Indira Gandhi International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 27, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 271.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 144 knots, with a touchdown point located 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 2,129 meters, accounting for 80% of the runway. Following touchdown, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 239 nautical miles, and the aircraft used a total of 11,670 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 27 at Indira Gandhi International Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 271.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 152 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly harder touchdown.
The aircraft touched down 316 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 144 knots, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -561 feet per minute, indicating a possible over-rotation or excessive descent rate. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 42°C and a headwind of 11 knots, may have affected the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance was 2,129 meters, which was 80% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating by 17.1 meters from the centerline. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 81.9%. The hard touchdown rate and rollout misalignment were the primary areas for improvement.
