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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,197 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 365 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 17 at BKPR Priština Adem Jashari International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,415 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 140 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started enroute climb 1 mile south of BKPR Priština Adem Jashari International Airport, rising from an altitude of 2,769 feet above sea level to 35,008 feet above sea level. This increase of 32,239 feet was achieved in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 2 miles northwest of Ihtiman, Sofia, Bulgaria, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northeast of Antonovo, Oblast Targovishte, Bulgaria, and involved a decrease of 33,055 feet in altitude from 34,482 feet above sea level to 1,428 feet above sea level. This descent took 20 minutes to complete and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at LBBG Burgas Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 224.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 22 at LBBG Burgas Airport was successful, with a runway length of 3,197 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was 363 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,126 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 397 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 66 minutes. The aircraft used 3,310 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LBBG Burgas Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 224.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon landing, the threshold speed was recorded at 142 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 363 meters was also deemed good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively before touchdown. However, the touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilots could have managed the descent more smoothly. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,126 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance, which may be addressed through further training and practice.
