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 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 22 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 137 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,642 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,642 m of the 3,203 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 314 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Raleigh Durham International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 05L, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 29 °C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 240°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 6-knot tailwind.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb, starting 2 miles northeast of the airport and reaching an altitude of 34,594 feet above sea level in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 144 minutes and covered 974 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 35,192 feet to 26,809 feet in 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles, and later from 37,314 feet to 3,347 feet in 26 minutes, covering 125 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport was executed from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,217 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 313 meters, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly higher than the recommended threshold speed, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -478 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 21.2 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,828 nautical miles, taking 297 minutes, and the aircraft used 11,634 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 136 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. However, the touchdown speed of 136 kt was slightly above the recommended range, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -478 fpm.
The aircraft's touchdown distance of 313 m was satisfactory, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high level of skill and control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The aircraft's ability to maintain a steady heading and airspeed during the approach was evident in the good threshold height and threshold speed.
Despite the satisfactory approach and touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was slightly off-centre, deviating by 21.2 m from the centreline. This minor deviation resulted in a total landing distance of 1,565 m, which was 49% of the runway length. Overall, the landing performance was good, with a score of 89.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control during the approach and touchdown phases.
