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 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,572 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,572 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 571 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 22R at John F. Kennedy International Airport (KJFK). The takeoff distance was 1,000 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Arverne, New York. The climb took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 237 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 997 feet above sea level to 37,000 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 82 minutes and covered 766 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 40 miles southeast of the EM02 Da Nang Static Carrier - CVN69 in Massachusetts. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 37,000 feet to 37,915 feet, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles in just 2 minutes.
The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and locations, with each climb and cruise phase lasting between 2 and 168 minutes. The final climb phase took the aircraft from 38,350 feet to 39,000 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles north of Grandcamp-Maisy in Normandie, France. The descent took 29 minutes and covered 178 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,834 feet to 1,686 feet.
The final approach to runway 27R at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,336 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 27R, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,496 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,244 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 375 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 39,198 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport on runway 27R, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,336 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the aircraft's descent. The touchdown point was 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be attributed to the aircraft's slightly fast touchdown speed of 136 knots.
The touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown position. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have influenced the aircraft's approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,496 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, maintaining a stable alignment with the runway centerline.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 93.0%. While there were minor deviations in the threshold height and touchdown speed, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the landing distance was within acceptable limits.
