Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 0.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,246 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 650 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 24, and the takeoff distance was 1,954 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 179 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and winds of 7 knots at 200 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was also 5 knots. The enroute climb began overhead Champlan, a town in the Ile-de-France region of France, and the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,324 feet above sea level to 32,847 feet, an increase of 31,523 feet in 28 minutes, covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile south east of Chateaubriant, a town in the Pays de la Loire region of France, and lasted for 176 minutes, covering a distance of 1,122 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 78 miles north east of Agua Retorta, a town in the Azores, Portugal, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,286 feet to 1,483 feet, a decrease of 31,803 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at LPPD João Paulo II Airport took place from the east, heading 292.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,246 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a runway length of 2,246 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. However, the touchdown point was 240 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -164 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 360 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total flight distance was 1,383 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 229 minutes. The aircraft used 12,127 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LPPD João Paulo II Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 292.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,246 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,246 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 144 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 240 meters down the runway. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was a bit faster than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown distance. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 3.5 meters. This may have been due to the pilot's judgment of the runway alignment or the aircraft's response to the crosswind. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 4 knots at 360°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop on the runway. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were sufficient to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
