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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 356 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 623 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport's runway 27R, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. At 163 knots, the aircraft lifted off the ground, utilizing 47% of the 1,715-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 6 knots and a crosswind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it traversed 116 nautical miles in 17 minutes, increasing its altitude from 2,018 feet to 35,810 feet. The climb phase was followed by an 11-minute level cruise, covering 89 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards its destination. The descent phase was divided into two segments, with the first segment covering 156 nautical miles in 26 minutes, and the second segment covering 13 nautical miles in 4 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off for a brief 3-minute period, before commencing its final descent.
Upon approaching Raleigh Durham International Airport's runway 23L, the aircraft touched down 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots and a rate of -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,294 meters, utilizing 57% of the 2,284-meter runway. Following a taxiing period of 9 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 397 nautical miles and utilizing 2,825 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight, which lasted a total of 82 minutes.
The final approach to runway 23L at KRDU Raleigh Durham International Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at 4 nm and 1,313 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 132 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft touched down 205 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 kt, which was slightly above the ideal range. The touchdown rate of -228 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 240°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a negligible crosswind and a moderate headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,294 m was 57% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.9%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
