Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 147 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 170 kt, 23 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 147 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on approach to bring the threshold speed back to 128 kt.
What happened: Threshold speed was fast at 146 kt against 128 kt, the flare then started early at 103 ft, and the touchdown usually follows long - this flight's touchdown was 1,148 m past the aim point, 691 m beyond target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.1° against the runway's 3°, centreline 14.1° off, against a 1° limit, wings 10° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 33 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,967 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,967 m of the 3,068 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,148 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 36R at LTAI Antalya International Airport, covering 6 nm in 15 minutes.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 36R, achieving a takeoff distance of 1,261 m (37 % of the runway) and lifting off at 170 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 24 °C, wind 2 kt from 106°, a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Climb began approximately 1 mile north-east of LTAI, ascending from 1,179 ft asl to 5,675 ft asl, a gain of 4,495 ft in 1 minute while covering 5 nm.
Level cruise was established 5 miles north-east of LTAI and persisted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 7 nm.
A subsequent climb segment started 5 miles north-west of Serik, raising the aircraft from 6,001 ft asl to 37,109 ft asl, an increase of 31,109 ft over 13 minutes and 86 nm.
The aircraft entered a level cruise 54 miles south-east of Cirali, maintaining that altitude for 52 minutes and traversing 374 nm.
Descent commenced 33 miles south-east of Z10W Bir Hasanah, descending from 37,087 ft asl to 430 ft asl, a loss of 36,658 ft in 28 minutes while covering 168 nm.
Final approach to runway 04R at HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport involved a descent from 985 ft agl to 169 ft agl in 39 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
The Airbus A321neo landed on runway 04R, whose length is 3,068 m; the threshold height at 78 ft agl and the threshold speed of 147 kt were noted as above target. Touchdown occurred 678 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 128 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 180 fpm and a lateral deviation of 36.6 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 23 °C, wind 2 kt from 106°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing roll measured 1,832 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was offset by 46.5 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering 1 nm in 6 minutes.
Overall, the flight covered 652 nm, required 113 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,605 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04R at HESH Sharm El Sheikh International Airport descended from 985 ft agl to 169 ft agl in 39 seconds and scored on the stabilisation gates; temperature was 23 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 106°, including a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft was 78 ft agl, which was well above the target height, and the threshold speed was 147 kt, also well above the target, indicating a higher-than-desired energy state at flare initiation.
Touchdown occurred 678 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 128 kt, described as a little fast, while the vertical rate was good at minus 180 fpm; the touchdown point was excessively misaligned by 36.6 m from the centreline and the total landing distance measured 1,832 m, representing 60 % of the 3,068 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained excessively misaligned, deviating 46.5 m from the centreline, confirming the need for improved directional control after touchdown.
With a score of 61.7 %, focus on achieving a more accurate centreline track and reducing the touchdown point overshoot to bring the landing within the intended aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) down the runway.
