Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 168 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 143 kt against a target of 168 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 168 kt.
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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: centreline 8.2° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 30R at KMSP, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt, using a takeoff distance of 1,426 m (59 % of the runway). Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 14 kt from 280°, including a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KMSP, with the flight ascending from 1,802 ft asl to 34,990 ft asl-a gain of 33,188 ft-over 20 minutes while covering 140 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 mi east of Norwalk, Wisconsin, and persisted for 71 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 601 nm at level flight.
Descent started 5 mi northwest of Beech Creek, Pennsylvania, dropping from 35,009 ft asl to 4,417 ft asl, a loss of 30,591 ft in 28 minutes and covering 165 nm.
A second cruise leg was flown 1 mi south of Eltingville, New York, lasting 8 minutes and spanning 34 nm.
The subsequent descent began 1 mi south of Ardsley, New York, reducing altitude from 3,846 ft asl to 3,010 ft asl (-836 ft) in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
A brief cruise over Mamaroneck, New York, lasted 2 minutes and added 5 nm to the flight path.
The final descent commenced 1 mi southeast of Pelham Manor, New York, descending from 2,968 ft asl to 310 ft asl (-2,658 ft) in 3 minutes and covering 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 13 at KLGA, the aircraft descended from 690 ft agl to 53 ft agl in 41 seconds, achieving the required stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 13 was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt; touchdown occurred 440 m down the runway at 134 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 218 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at KLGA was 18 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 97°, including a 2 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,143 m (54 % of the runway).
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop within the remaining runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 964 nm, lasted 141 minutes, and consumed 6,137 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 13 at KLGA proceeded from 690 ft AGL to 53 ft AGL in 41 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good height and a good threshold speed of 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 440 m down the runway at a good speed of 134 kt; the vertical rate was fair at minus 218 fpm and the touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total of 1,143 m, representing 54 % of the 2,131 m runway, and the runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
To improve the already strong performance, focus on moderating the flare to lower the touchdown vertical rate, which will produce an even smoother landing while preserving the excellent alignment and speed control.
