Flight Score
Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 4,329 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 317 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 32L at Abadan Airport, where the aircraft, an Airbus A320, took off with a takeoff distance of 949 meters, which was 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,072 feet above sea level to 26,998 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,925 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. This climb phase was initiated 2 miles southeast of Khorramshahr, a city located in the Khuzestan Province of Iran.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 84 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 20 miles south of Mahshahr Airport, another airport located in the Khuzestan Province of Iran. The aircraft then continued its journey, entering another enroute descent phase from 27,000 feet above sea level to 10,118 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,881 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. This descent phase was initiated 17 miles east of Gorreh, a city located in the Bushehr Province of Iran.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 44 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 15 miles east of Kazerun, a city located in the Fars Province of Iran. The aircraft then entered another enroute descent phase from 9,989 feet above sea level to 8,246 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,743 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. This descent phase was initiated 6 miles northwest of Akbarabad, a city located in the Fars Province of Iran.
Following the enroute descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. This cruise phase began 9 miles northeast of Akbarabad. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 29R at Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport, which was located to the south east of the aircraft's position.
The final approach was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 295.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 149 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance was 322 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was very heavy, at -775 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 1,018 meters, which was 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft had maintained its alignment with the runway during the landing roll.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 269 nautical miles, which was covered in 55 minutes, and the aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 29R at OISS Shiraz Shahid Dastghaib International Airport, achieving a score of 90.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 295.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,236 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon final approach, the aircraft's touchdown speed was well above the target at 153 knots, while the threshold height was above the target at 60 feet agl. However, the touchdown distance of 322 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 149 knots was slightly fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind was negligible at 0 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot, which likely contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. Despite this, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the total landing distance of 1,018 meters was only 24% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
