Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 175 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 142 kt against a target of 175 kt, running 33 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 175 kt.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 31 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 45 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,753 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,824 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC), the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 16L, utilizing 7,085 feet of the 14,500-foot-long runway, which accounted for 59% of its length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, climbing from 5,214 feet above sea level to 38,811 feet in 29 minutes, covering 210 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 15 miles southeast of Hendricks Field At West Creek Ranch Airport (63CO) and lasted for 198 minutes, covering 1,625 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 39,000 feet to 40,997 feet in just 3 minutes, covering 29 nautical miles. The level cruise resumed, starting 8 miles northeast of Shipyard Airport (MZSY), and lasted for 356 minutes, covering 1,800 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 41,003 feet to 36,134 feet in 3 minutes, covering 18 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 20 miles north of Paramonga (Lima, Peru), and the aircraft touched down on runway 16L at Jorge Chavez International Airport (SPJC) after a total flight distance of 3,796 nautical miles.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 134 knots, and the touchdown point was 473 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -166 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. The total landing distance was 4,686 feet, accounting for 49% of the 9,523-foot-long runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking was a mere 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The flight utilized 97,284 pounds of fuel, and the total flight time was 492 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 16L at SPJC Jorge Chavez Intl, a 9,523-foot-long asphalt runway, after a final approach from the north west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown point was 473 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -166 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centreline, which could have been a result of the 3-knot crosswind and 2-knot tailwind. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 74 degrees Fahrenheit and a light wind of 3 knots at 284 degrees, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 4,686 feet was 49% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, which could be attributed to the crosswind and tailwind conditions. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2%.
