Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear promptly once a positive rate is confirmed, before reaching the gate altitude.
What happened: Gear retraction was late relative to the target height for this stage of the climb.
Watch for: Landing gear position against the retraction height gate.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 122 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 206 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,009 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,549 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.74 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.

The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 22L at Chicago O’Hare (KORD) in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
Take-off was executed on runway 22L with a ground roll of 6,179 ft, representing 77 % of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at 156 kt. Ambient temperature was 78 °F with a wind of 3 kt from 137°, a 3-kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 nm southeast of Bensenville, Illinois, climbing from 1,570 ft asl to 31,869 ft asl - a gain of 30,300 ft - in 24 minutes while covering 94 nm.
A short level cruise commenced 4 nm southeast of IN09 Clifton Airport, Indiana, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 21 nm.
A second climb segment started 2 nm south of KSHC Shadeland Airport, Indiana, rising from 31,992 ft asl to 42,432 ft asl - an increase of 10,440 ft - over 14 minutes and 85 nm.
The aircraft then level-cruised overhead IN02 Hamilton Lake Seaplane Base for 12 minutes, traversing 58 nm.
Descent began overhead Fox Chase, Kentucky, descending from 42,725 ft asl to 41,280 ft asl - a loss of 1,444 ft - in 6 minutes while covering 25 nm.
A further cruise segment was flown 1 nm east of 86KY Hornback Airport, Hodgenville, Kentucky, lasting 7 minutes and covering 28 nm.
Descent resumed 9 nm southeast of 69KY Lyndon Fire Protection District Heliport, Lyndon, Kentucky, dropping from 40,192 ft asl to 35,570 ft asl - a decrease of 4,622 ft - in 3 minutes over 14 nm.
The aircraft level-cruised 1 nm northeast of KGLW Glasgow Municipal Airport for 2 minutes, covering 8 nm.
A climb began 1 nm west of 04KY Natchez Trace Farm Airport, Hiseville, Kentucky, climbing from 35,793 ft asl to 40,822 ft asl - a gain of 5,028 ft - in 5 minutes and 23 nm.
Subsequent cruise was flown 4 nm northwest of KGLW Glasgow Municipal Airport for 2 minutes, covering 7 nm.
Another climb started 3 nm northeast of Glasgow, Kentucky, raising the aircraft from 40,738 ft asl to 41,278 ft asl - an increase of 540 ft - in 2 minutes and 7 nm.
The next cruise segment was 2 nm west of 04KY Natchez Trace Farm Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
A long descent followed 8 nm north of KGLW Glasgow Municipal Airport, descending from 41,308 ft asl to 24,209 ft asl - a loss of 17,099 ft - in 21 minutes while covering 104 nm.
The aircraft then level-cruised 9 nm west of 4I1 Williamsburg-Cumberland Falls for 32 minutes, traversing 135 nm.
Descent continued 1 nm west of Mountain City, Tennessee, dropping from 23,991 ft asl to 14,985 ft asl - a
The final approach to runway 36L at KCLT was flown from the south on a heading of 356.0° at 4 NM and 1,185 ft agl. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as stabilised, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold with a wind of 2 kt from 217°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component, and the ambient temperature was 84 °F.
Touchdown occurred 181 ft beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was good at 134 kt, the vertical rate was firm at minus 330 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.
Rollout used 4,035 ft, representing 45 % of the 9,009 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
With a final score of 95.6 % the landing was strong; smoothing the touchdown rate would further improve comfort, while the current speed, alignment and distance usage should be maintained.
