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 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,980 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,980 m of the 3,287 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 381 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from runway 24 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands. The departure roll took place with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 16 kt at 243 °. The strong headwind contributed to the takeoff distance, which was 902 m, which represented 28% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 kt.
As the flight progressed, the enroute climb began 1 mile north of Aalsmeerderbrug. From an initial altitude of 281 m above sea level (asl), the aircraft climbed to 11,855 m asl, an increase of 11,573.5 m over a distance of 99 nm in 19 minutes. During this period, the aircraft transitioned to its cruising level, starting 12 miles north of Schiermonnikoog in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. The enroute cruise lasted for 22 minutes, and the aircraft covered 165 nm over that time.
The descent phase began 2 miles north of Give in the Region Syddanmark, Denmark. The descent started at 11,565 m asl and ended at 9,145 m asl, reducing the altitude by 2,420.4 m over a distance of 65 nm in 9 minutes. Subsequently, the aircraft levelled out again, this time for a shorter period, starting 9 miles east of Hadsund Airfield (EKHS) in North Denmark and lasting 2 minutes, covering a relatively short distance of 12 nm. As the aircraft continued its journey, another descent phase commenced, starting 16 miles south of Hals in North Denmark. The aircraft descended from 9,139 m asl to 746 m asl, a decrease of 8,392.4 m over an area of 78 nm in 16 minutes.
The aircraft then initiated its final enroute cruise, which began over Tollered in Vaestra Goetaland County, Sweden and lasted 3 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 5 nm during this period. Ultimately, the flight concluded with an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to runway 21 at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport from the northeast. The aircraft descended to an altitude of 746 m asl and continued for 4 nm, heading 206.0° at a distance of 391.6 meters above ground level (agl).
The good threshold speed and touchdown speed were 122 kt, which were both acceptable. The touchdown distance, however, was 379 m, which exceeded the acceptable threshold for a slightly faster touchdown speed of 122 kt, and ultimately recorded a firm touchdown rate of -1.8 m/s.
The aircraft landed slightly off-centre to the left, positioned 12.1 meters away from the runway centreline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was somewhat misaligned, deviating 12.1 m from the centreline. Local wind conditions were present, with winds of 14 kt at 257° and a crosswind of 11 kt, coupled with a headwind of 9 kt. The total landing distance was 1,890 m, accounting for 57% of the runway. Ultimately, the aircraft taxied to the parking area after landing, completing this part of the flight in 4 minutes.
Throughout the flight, factors such as wind, headwind and distance covered had to be taken into consideration. The total flight distance was 432 nm and took a total flight time of 82 minutes with the consumption of 2,959 kg of fuel.
Aircraft Airbus A319 landed at ESGG Göteborg Landvetter Airport, achieving a performance score of 93.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, with a heading of 206.0° at 4 nautical miles and 391.6 meters above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft displayed a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also deemed acceptable at 122 knots. The pilot successfully negotiated a touchdown distance of 379 meters, however, the touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly above the desired level. The aircraft maintained a firm touchdown rate of -1.8 meters per second.
The landing operation was impacted by local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 14 knots at 257°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot effectively managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
It is worth noting that there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft straying 12.1 meters off centerline. This trend continued during the runway rollout, with the aircraft also exhibiting a slight misalignment of 12.1 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance covered was 1,890 meters, which accounts for 57% of the runway length. This outcome suggests that the aircraft could benefit from further refinement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment to further improve overall performance and efficiency.
