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 15 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 307 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 23 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then rolled onto runway 27L and took off, utilizing 1,641 meters or 47% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, with a local temperature of 24°C and wind conditions of 19 knots at 299 degrees, resulting in a 10-knot crosswind and a 17-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it ascended from 1,705 feet above sea level to 39,001 feet, an increase of 37,296 feet in 16 minutes, covering 312 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 6 miles north of London/Watson Airfield in Ontario, Canada, and lasted 33 minutes, covering 1,223 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several enroute climbs and level cruises, with notable increases in altitude and decreases in time, before beginning its descent into Charles de Gaulle International Airport in France. The final approach to runway 09L was made from the west, with a heading of 85.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,355 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 09L, utilizing 48% of the 2,700-meter runway's length. The touchdown distance was 317 meters, and the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -412 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 3,740 nautical miles, taking 139 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,065 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 85.0° from 4 nautical miles away at 1,355 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, aligning itself with the runway centerline as it began its final approach.
As the aircraft touched down, it was noted that the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots, resulting in a touchdown speed of 134 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance of 317 meters was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft's rate of descent was hard at -412 feet per minute. Despite the slightly high touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth and controlled, with excellent alignment along the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,308 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.1%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach and landing.
