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 17 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,753 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside 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 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ). The takeoff distance was 1,549 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 280 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,574 feet above sea level to 36,197 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,623 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 133 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of Cochranton, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 98 minutes, covering a distance of 668 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 7 miles east of Atlantic Beach, Florida, descending from 37,322 feet above sea level to 1,396 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,927 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) was made from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 35R, which had a length of 2,753 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 136 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 354 meters, but the touchdown speed of 135 knots was fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 280 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,441 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 931 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 168 minutes. The aircraft used 6,279 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 35R at KMCO Orlando International Airport with a score of 96.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 359.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 354 meters, which is within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 135 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast on touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 280°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, and the aircraft was able to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,441 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with good control and stability, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
