Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 28 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 28 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through 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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,530 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,530 m of the 3,591 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 486 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31L at John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK), with the Airbus A350-1000 taking off after a distance of 1,580 meters, which was 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 20°.
As the aircraft climbed out of New York, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,205 feet above sea level (asl) from an initial altitude of 1,061 feet asl. This climb took 22 minutes to complete, covering a distance of 154 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at an altitude of 35,205 feet asl for 104 minutes, covering a distance of 869 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 34,723 feet asl to 36,671 feet asl, an increase of 1,948 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 36,671 feet asl for 204 minutes, covering a distance of 1,837 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting from an altitude of 37,337 feet asl and descending to 12,182 feet asl, a decrease of 25,155 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at an altitude of 12,182 feet asl for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 11,084 feet asl to 7,838 feet asl, a decrease of 3,246 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 7,292 feet asl for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 7,292 feet asl to 6,075 feet asl, a decrease of 1,217 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise, flying at an altitude of 6,075 feet asl for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, this time from an altitude of 5,881 feet asl to 1,887 feet asl, a decrease of 3,994 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL), flying from the east at a heading of 267.0° and an altitude of 1,788 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft landed on runway 27R, which was 3,591 meters long, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was 69 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -363 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 90°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed on runway 27R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,788 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 136 knots. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, located 69 meters past the threshold. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was a bit faster than ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -363 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.1 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown point. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component but a moderate tailwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,448 meters, which accounted for approximately 40% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations from ideal performance, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a misaligned touchdown position.
