Flight Score
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 5 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 11 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,670 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,670 m of the 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 269 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-1000 taxied from the parking area to runway 24L at KLAX, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24L at Los Angeles International Airport the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 174 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,459 m (48 % of the runway). Ambient conditions were 36 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 249°, including a 1 kt crosswind component and a 6 kt headwind.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile west of KLAX, climbing from 973 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl - an increase of 33,027 ft - over 31 minutes while covering 219 nm.
Level cruise commenced at latitude 31.5150541, longitude -121.4406864 and persisted for 82 minutes, during which 676 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb segment started at latitude 22.6328209, longitude -129.2667184, raising the aircraft from 34,000 ft asl to 35,559 ft asl (1,559 ft) in 2 minutes and traversing 12 nm.
The following cruise phase began at latitude 22.4488266, longitude -129.4125909, lasting 184 minutes and covering 1,551 nm.
Another climb was initiated at latitude -0.00909, longitude -142.4535015, increasing altitude from 36,084 ft asl to 37,942 ft asl (1,858 ft) in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.
The next cruise segment started at latitude -0.229011, longitude -142.5405449, continued for 114 minutes and encompassed 946 nm.
A further climb began 14 miles east of NTGV Mataiva Airport, raising the aircraft from 38,000 ft asl to 38,562 ft asl (562 ft) in 2 minutes while covering 12 nm.
Cruise then proceeded 17 miles southeast of NTGV Mataiva Airport for 5 minutes, during which 39 nm were flown.
Descent commenced 45 miles southwest of NTGC Tikehau Airport, descending from 38,671 ft asl to 1,370 ft asl - a loss of 37,301 ft - in 22 minutes and covering 124 nm.
The final approach to runway 22 at NTAA Faa’a International Airport involved a descent from 1,411 ft agl to 57 ft agl in 96 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 22 at NTAA was executed on a 3,288 m runway; the threshold speed was 142 kt, touchdown occurred at 268 m from the threshold with a speed of 143 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 269 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.9 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 24 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 0°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. Total landing distance measured 1,593 m (48 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be slightly off centreline by 10.9 m.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 3,602 nm, required 450 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 51,228 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at MSLP Monseñor Óscar Arnulfo Romero International Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,061 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 07, which has a length of 3,198 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was maintained at 142 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was 244 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing area. However, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 241°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,862 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a straight path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 95.9%.
