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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7.1 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 4.9 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Almaty International Airport (UAAA), the Airbus A321 began its journey on runway 05R, taking off with a distance of 2,674 meters, which covered 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots, overcoming a local wind of 3 knots at 169 degrees, with a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The temperature at the time of departure was 33 degrees Celsius.
As the aircraft climbed out of Almaty, it reached an altitude of 34,009 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 138 nautical miles. The climb was a steady ascent from 3,260 feet above sea level, with a total increase of 30,749 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 203 minutes and covered 1,490 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of descents, with the final descent starting 2 miles north-east of Obukhovo, Moscow Oblast, Russia. The aircraft touched down on runway 24L at Sheremetyevo International Airport (UUEE) with a touchdown speed of 136 knots, slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 141 knots. The total landing distance was 1,032 meters, which was 28% of the runway length.
The flight concluded with a taxiing period of 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,804 nautical miles, taking a total of 266 minutes, and the aircraft used 12,073 kilograms of fuel during the journey. The local weather at the time of landing was 19 degrees Celsius, with a wind of 4 knots at 220 degrees, resulting in a slight headwind of 3 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24L at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 141 kt, which was within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 255.0° at 4 nm and 1,288 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 109 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, but the touchdown speed of 136 kt was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -153 fpm, which was still within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a precise centerline alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 4 kt at 220°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing. The total landing distance of 1,032 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was executed perfectly, with the aircraft maintaining a precise centerline alignment. The overall landing performance was impressive, with a score of 99.1% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, a precise touchdown point, and a smooth rollout, all of which contributed to a safe and efficient landing.
