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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 143 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 378 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,008 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 386 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL), the Airbus A330-900 initiated its takeoff roll on runway 26L. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 173 kt, clearing the 2,435-meter mark, which represented 80% of the runway's length. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 31 °C, with a wind speed of 11 kt at 240°, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from 1,959 ft above sea level to 33,795 ft, a vertical increase of 31,836 ft, over a distance of 167 nm, within a 25-minute timeframe. The crew then leveled off at 33,795 ft, maintaining a steady altitude for 31 minutes as the aircraft covered 254 nm. Subsequent enroute climbs and descents were initiated at various points along the route, with the aircraft eventually entering a prolonged level cruise phase over the Atlantic Ocean. This segment lasted for 247 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 2,032 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Kotoka International Airport (DGAA), it began its final descent from 36,906 ft above sea level to 2,346 ft, a vertical decrease of 34,560 ft, over a distance of 97 nm, within a 16-minute timeframe. The aircraft then transitioned into a short level cruise phase before initiating its final approach to runway 21. The landing was executed with a touchdown distance of 384 m, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 135 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 140 kt. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that had covered a total distance of 5,131 nm, utilizing 61,866 kg of fuel, and lasting 642 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 21 at DGAA Kotoka International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach phase to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 140 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 135 kt was slightly above the optimal range, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -219 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 384 m was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and precision during the approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The aircraft's rollout was slightly misaligned by 11.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a combination of factors, including the slight deviation in the approach path and the aircraft's response to the headwind. The total landing distance of 986 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 95.6%.
