Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 571 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 232 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 232 fpm next time
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,707 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,707 m of the 2,901 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 471 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 28R at KORD, covering 2 nm in 11 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 28R the aircraft used 1,456 m, representing 37 % of the runway, to achieve liftoff at 152 kt. Local weather was temperature 19 °C, wind 14 kt from 210°, with a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead KORD, with the airplane ascending from 1,668 ft asl to 36,583 ft asl, an increase of 34,915 ft in 21 minutes while covering 152 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile south-east of Reading, Michigan, and lasted 38 minutes, during which 321 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of 5PN8 Lincoln Farms Airport, Calvin, Pennsylvania, descending from 37,000 ft asl to 2,998 ft asl, a loss of 34,002 ft in 25 minutes and covering 146 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 1 mile east of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The second descent began overhead Ellisburg, New Jersey, with the aircraft dropping from 3,007 ft asl to 1,314 ft asl, a decrease of 1,693 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 27R at KPHL proceeded from 1,337 ft agl to 75 ft agl in 102 seconds, and the aircraft was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27R at KPHL was performed on a runway 2,901 m long; the threshold speed was 142 kt. Touchdown occurred 54 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 139 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 266 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather at the time was temperature 25 °C, wind 7 kt from 209°, with a 5 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,625 m, representing 56 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 641 nm, took 104 minutes, and consumed 3,636 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 27R at KPHL was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,337 ft agl to 75 ft agl in 102 seconds on the final approach.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 142 kt. Touchdown occurred 54 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 139 kt that was good, a touchdown rate of minus 266 fpm that was fair, and runway touchdown alignment described as very good.
At touchdown the aircraft contacted the runway 54 m beyond the designated zone, maintained a speed of 139 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 266 fpm. Alignment remained very good throughout the moment of touchdown.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,625 m, representing 56 % of the 2,901 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
Coaching should focus on reducing the touchdown rate and ensuring the touchdown point falls within the touchdown zone to further tighten the already strong performance reflected by the 98.9 % score.
