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 8.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 4.4 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 366 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Bristol Airport (EGGD), navigating a 6-minute taxi to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll commenced on runway 27, with a takeoff distance of 934 meters, utilizing 50% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots, amidst local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a 14-knot wind at 209 degrees. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began a climb from 1,459 feet above sea level to 5,568 feet, an increase of 4,110 feet in just 1 minute, covering 4 nautical miles. This was followed by a 3-minute level cruise, 1 mile south of Kingston Seymour, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated a second climb, from 6,005 feet to 13,470 feet, an increase of 7,465 feet in 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. This was followed by an 8-minute level cruise, 1 mile north-east of Marshfield, covering 54 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 1 mile east of Hartley Wintney, with the aircraft descending from 12,783 feet to 1,413 feet, a decrease of 11,370 feet in 10 minutes, covering 44 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) was executed from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,323 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 371 meters and a touchdown speed of 118 knots, slightly above the target. The touchdown rate was fair at -211 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,206 meters, utilizing 36% of the runway. Following a 3-minute taxi to the parking, the aircraft came to rest, having completed a total flight distance of 140 nautical miles, utilizing 1,613 kilograms of fuel and taking 39 minutes to complete.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, a 3,345-meter long runway, after a final approach from the east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 124 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown distance of 371 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 118 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -211 feet per minute was fair. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 15 knots at 210 degrees, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,206 meters, which accounts for 36% of the runway length, was reasonable. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 99.2%.
