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.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Göteborg Landvetter Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 03, with a takeoff distance of 1,012 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft departed, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,479 feet above sea level to 36,734 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,255 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south of Kalundborg Airfield in Denmark and lasted for 36 minutes, covering a distance of 272 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 1 mile northwest of Hessisch Lichtenau in Germany, descending from 36,870 feet above sea level to 7,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,707 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 2 miles northeast of Walluf in Germany and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final descent began 2 miles northwest of Ingelheim am Rhein in Germany, where the aircraft descended from 6,564 feet above sea level to 1,620 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,945 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport was made from the southwest, heading 69.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, which was 3,984 meters long, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 133 knots, and the touchdown distance was also good at 275 meters. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -384 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 60 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,195 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 517 nautical miles, taking 90 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,036 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 133 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -384 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft 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 11 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,195 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
