Flight Score
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 4.7° off, against a 1° 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 1,979 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 181 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) in Paris, France, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 09R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C and a gentle headwind of 11 knots at 90 degrees.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,321 feet above sea level to 38,002 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged level cruise, which lasted for 67 minutes and covered 561 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent a series of climbs and descents, adjusting its altitude to optimize fuel efficiency and take advantage of favorable wind conditions. Notably, the climb from 37,999 feet to 38,611 feet in just 2 minutes and 14 nautical miles was particularly impressive, demonstrating the aircraft's exceptional climb performance.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Newark Liberty International Airport (KEWR), it began its final descent, gradually losing altitude from 40,000 feet to 3,034 feet in a series of short descents. The final approach to runway 29 was executed from the east, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 132 knots and a distance of 181 meters. The total landing distance was 1,125 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey of 3,242 nautical miles, which had taken a total of 333 minutes and consumed 42,045 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 29 at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 275.0° at 1 nm and 393 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 181 m, but the touchdown speed of 132 kt was a little fast, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -393 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 4 kt. Despite this, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and wind at 17 kt from 260°, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,125 m was 57% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
