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 4.8 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 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 16 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,636 fpm, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,205 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,205 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 853 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 787-9 departed London Gatwick Airport (EGKK) from runway 08R, accelerating down a 1,439 m takeoff run that represented 49 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 162 kt. Ambient temperature was 24 °C with a wind from 139° at 15 kt, providing a 7 kt headwind component and a 13 kt cross-wind component.
The initial climb began one mile south of Horley, Surrey, where the aircraft rose from 1,197 ft asl to 6,026 ft asl, gaining 4,829 ft in two minutes while covering nine nautical miles.
A short level segment followed one mile north-east of Horsted Keynes, West Sussex; the flight level was held for three minutes during which the aircraft travelled fifteen nautical miles.
The second climb commenced one mile east of Newhaven, East Sussex. The jet ascended from 6,054 ft asl to 35,620 ft asl, an increase of 29,567 ft over eighteen minutes, and covered 115 nm.
Cruising thereafter over Montreuil-l'Argille, Normandie, the aircraft maintained altitude for ninety minutes, traversing 669 nm.
Descent operations started twenty-five miles south-east of La Savina, Balearic Islands, with the aircraft descending from 35,845 ft asl to 1,430 ft asl, a loss of 34,415 ft in twenty-five minutes while covering 124 nm.
On final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA), the aircraft descended from 1,392 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 106 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24L was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt on a runway 2,989 m long. Touchdown occurred 431 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 184 fpm and a lateral deviation of 13.9 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 26 °C, wind 230° at 8 kt (headwind component 7 kt, cross-wind 1 kt). The total landing roll measured 2,118 m, representing 71 % of the runway, and the rollout was laterally misaligned by 17.6 m from the centreline.
In total, the flight covered 939 nm, required 142 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,025 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving a score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 355.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 35R, which has a length of 2,708 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 142 knots. However, the touchdown point was 122 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -284 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,470 meters was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft came to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
