Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 332 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 253 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,982 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,982 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,189 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 30 at LEBB Bilbao Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,387 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The aircraft climbed from 1,126 feet above sea level to 33,678 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,553 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead LEBB Bilbao Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Escource, France, and lasted for 61 minutes, covering a distance of 332 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Puiseux-en-Bray, France, and descending from 32,864 feet above sea level to 19,956 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,908 feet, in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north-west of Bapaume, France, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 2 miles south-west of Moustier, Belgium, and descending from 19,918 feet above sea level to 9,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,099 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Wemmel, Belgium, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting overhead Lubbeek, Belgium, and descending from 9,328 feet above sea level to 1,626 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,702 feet, in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was made from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,082 meters. The threshold height at 66 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 766 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,893 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 598 nautical miles, taking 115 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,034 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving an overall score of 83.8%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was characterized by a threshold height that was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired altitude at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 143 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable approach speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 125 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown with precision.
Despite the satisfactory touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown point was 766 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing position. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations in the aircraft's touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance was 1,893 meters, which accounted for 61% of the available runway length. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have left some margin for error in case of an unexpected situation.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a combination of factors, including the crosswind and the pilot's response to the touchdown. Overall, while the landing was satisfactory, there were some minor deviations that may be addressed in future training or operations.
