Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 155 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
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 17 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 18 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,919 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,919 m of the 2,740 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 835 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321 taxied from the parking area to runway 26L at KATL Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, covering 3 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 26L, the aircraft used 1,923 m of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and lifted off at 156 kt. Ambient temperature was 27 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 270°, providing a 4 kt headwind and no crosswind.
Climb commenced overhead College Park, Georgia, with the airplane ascending from 1,978 ft asl to 34,720 ft asl, a gain of 32,742 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 137 nm.
Level cruise began over Louisville, Tennessee, and persisted for 65 minutes, during which the flight covered 490 nm.
Descent was initiated 1 mile southeast of Almond, New York, descending from 35,012 ft asl to 1,742 ft asl, a loss of 33,270 ft in 18 minutes and spanning 106 nm.
The final approach to runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport was flown from the east, on a heading of 267.0° at 4 nm and 1,321 ft agl.
Landing on runway 28, which is 2,740 m long, occurred with the threshold height at 62 ft agl and the threshold speed at 153 kt, both above target. Touchdown was recorded 423 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 231 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 17.3 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 3 kt from 140°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind. The total landing distance measured 1,842 m, equivalent to 67 % of the runway, and the subsequent rollout was misaligned by 17.4 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 743 nm, took 118 minutes, and consumed 5,113 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 established the final approach to runway 28 at KSYR Syracuse Hancock International Airport from the east, tracking a heading of 267.0° at 4 nm and 1,321 ft agl in 14 °C temperature with a 3 kt wind from 140° and a 3 kt crosswind component plus a 2 kt tailwind component.
At the threshold the aircraft was 62 ft agl, which was above target, and the threshold speed was well above target at 153 kt.
Touchdown occurred 423 m beyond the designated touchdown zone with a speed of 140 kt, noted as a little fast, and a fair vertical rate of minus 231 fpm; the touchdown point was significantly misaligned by 17.3 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 1,842 m, representing 67 % of the 2,740 m runway, and the rollout remained misaligned by 17.4 m from the centreline.
Reduce approach and touchdown speeds to meet target values and focus on precise lateral control to keep the aircraft aligned with the centreline throughout touchdown and rollout.
