Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 48 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 48 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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 82 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 82 ft, 37 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,247 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Albuquerque International Sunport, taking 12 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 21, with the aircraft taking off after covering 63% of the runway's length, which was 6,311 feet. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile east of South Valley, New Mexico, and reached an altitude of 38,998 feet above sea level, increasing by 32,944 feet in 23 minutes while covering 140 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 10 miles southeast of Bell Ranch Waggoner Airport in New Mexico and lasted for 104 minutes, covering a distance of 820 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 3 miles south of Hillsboro, Alabama, and saw the aircraft descend from 39,002 feet to 2,267 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,734 feet in 31 minutes while covering 144 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 90 degrees at an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 08L, which was 8,984 feet long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 857 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 knots and a touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,111 nautical miles, taking 170 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,290 pounds of fuel during the flight. The local temperature at the time of landing was 72 degrees Fahrenheit.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 08L. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,245 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a high degree of precision, as indicated by the 97.3% score.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown point was located 857 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F. The runway length of 8,984 feet provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely, and the aircraft's landing distance of 4,296 feet was only 48% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed with a good amount of runway remaining, which is a desirable outcome.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of landing safety, as it ensures that the aircraft remains on the runway and does not veer off to one side. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and safety, and the aircraft came to a stop in a controlled and stable manner.
