Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 177 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 307 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 685 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft in question was an Airbus A321, and it was departing from runway 25 at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 2,480 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 190 degrees.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 3 miles southwest of KDEN Denver International Airport. The climb was from an altitude of 5,836 feet above sea level to 35,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,174 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 6 miles southwest of CO22 Hildebrandt Airport Bethune, and it lasted for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 837 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 2 miles northwest of Guntersville, Alabama, and it was from an altitude of 35,012 feet above sea level to 3,031 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,981 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Redan, Georgia, and it lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26R at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was from the east, with a heading of 270.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,313 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 26R was on a runway length of 2,738 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 67 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 147 knots.
The touchdown point was 266 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was at 135 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -231 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 280 degrees.
The total landing distance was 1,638 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,120 nautical miles, and it took 166 minutes to complete, using 7,130 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 26R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 92.7%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,313 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 266 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much reverse thrust or failed to flare the aircraft sufficiently. However, the touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the pilot managed to control the descent effectively.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 280°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within 60% of the runway length. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
