Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 10 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2.6°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,677 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 173 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 27 knots coming from a direction of 320 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 20 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The aircraft climbed to an altitude of 34,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,927 feet from the initial altitude of 2,080 feet, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead College Park, Georgia, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles south east of Mark Anton Dayton Airport in Tennessee and lasted for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 158 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north west of Mount Washington, Kentucky, and descended from 34,000 feet to 6,340 feet in 18 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles west of Southport, Indiana, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting overhead Whelen Airport Waldron, Indiana, and descended from 5,984 feet to 3,003 feet in 5 minutes and covering 17 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed once more, starting 1 mile west of Arthur Airport Greenfield, Indiana, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23L at Indianapolis International Airport was made from the north east, with a heading of 225.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,453 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 23L, which had a length of 3,045 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -364 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots coming from a direction of 289 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,161 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 475 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 1,238 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at KIND Indianapolis International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 23L was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,453 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 137 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 83 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -364 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 289°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe and successful landing.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with a total landing distance of 1,161 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, and the pilot was able to maintain control throughout the landing phase.
