Flight Score
Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,454 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 36C at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,844 meters, which was 60% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 179 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,759 feet above sea level to 36,022 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,262 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 148 nautical miles.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Nashville, North Carolina, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 218 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northeast of Dewey Beach, Delaware, and descending from 35,529 feet above sea level to 4,731 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,798 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of Sea Girt, New Jersey, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 9 miles south of ZC06 Long Island Static Carrier - CVN76, New York, and descending from 4,727 feet above sea level to 1,990 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,737 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then climbed from 1,920 feet above sea level to 3,059 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,139 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting overhead Point Lookout, New York, and descending from 3,083 feet above sea level to 1,401 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,682 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 31R at John F. Kennedy International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 301.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,373 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 281 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 136 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -285 feet per minute.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 513 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used 4,528 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 31R at KJFK John F Kennedy International Airport, achieving a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 301.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,373 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 281 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft landed smoothly and did not experience any significant deceleration.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing some drag or that the pilot was being cautious. The touchdown rate of -285 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was experiencing some deceleration, but not excessively so.
One notable issue was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.3 meters. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind, pilot error, or aircraft performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and winds of 12 knots at 350°, may have also played a role in the misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,090 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.3 meters from centerline, which may indicate that the pilot was still adjusting to the aircraft's deceleration and alignment after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement. The pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent, speed, and alignment was demonstrated, but there were some minor issues with touchdown speed, touchdown rate, and runway alignment.
