Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 9 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 9 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 22 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,416 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,416 m of the 4,031 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 758 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 12R at Dubai International Airport (OMDB). The takeoff distance was 1,823 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 182 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles southeast of OMDB, and reached a maximum altitude of 40,109 feet above sea level. The climb phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 145 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 7 miles south of Chalow Gohreh in Iran. This phase lasted for 60 minutes and covered a distance of 430 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 59 miles northwest of Na'in Airport in Iran. The descent phase lasted for 19 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 39,174 feet to 7,532 feet above sea level.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Doshan Tappeh Air Base in Tehran, Iran. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles northeast of Shahid Aryafar Airport in Firuzabad, Iran. The descent phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 7,534 feet to 5,191 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 29L at Mehrabad International Airport (OIII) was made from the east, with a heading of 290.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 29L, which had a length of 4,031 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 369 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -100 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 2,363 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 704 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,212 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at OIII Mehrabad International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 290.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,302 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 29L, which has a length of 4,031 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than desired during the final approach. The touchdown point was 369 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly further down the runway than intended.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, which could have contributed to the slightly longer than desired landing distance. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -100 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft's descent was controlled and stable.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,363 meters, which represents 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the desired performance. The aircraft's speed and alignment were slightly off, but the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment were good.
