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 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 236 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,526 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,526 m of the 3,641 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 405 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 178 minutes and covered 18 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 35, utilizing 64% of the 1,756-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 33°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 303°, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of LATI Tirana International Airport Mother Teresa Rinas, ascending from 1,028 feet above sea level to 35,741 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise that started 8 miles southeast of Nevesinje, lasting 111 minutes and covering 817 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 27 miles northwest of Middelkerke, descending from 36,039 feet above sea level to 7,351 feet above sea level in 14 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles. The descent phase was punctuated by brief level cruises, including a 3-minute period overhead EGSG Stapleford Aerodrome Romford and a 5-minute period overhead Hadley Wood.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport from the east, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,299 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 3,652-meter runway, utilizing 40% of its length, with a touchdown distance of 411 meters and a touchdown speed of 135 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 300°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. Following a smooth landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,083 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 169 minutes and a fuel consumption of 1,468 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, a 3,652-meter-long runway, with a good threshold height. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent from 1,299 feet above ground level (agl) at 4 nautical miles from the threshold. The threshold speed was well-managed at 139 knots, allowing for a smooth touchdown.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 411 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -277 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a 10-knot headwind, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating excellent control and coordination during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,450 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 99.4%, reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail throughout the approach and landing phases.
