Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 395 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,987 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,987 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 749 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A321, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Newark Liberty International Airport, KEWR. This process took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with the aircraft using 93% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 1,833 meters, and the liftoff speed was 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Hillside, New Jersey. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 137 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 970 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 35,985 feet. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of Overlea, Maryland, and lasting for 56 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 407 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles north of the Oolenoy Valley Airport in Pickens, South Carolina. The descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, with the aircraft dropping from an altitude of 36,007 feet to 2,577 feet. The final approach to runway 26R at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, KATL, was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,552 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 26R, with the aircraft using 70% of the runway's length to come to a stop. The touchdown point was 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 680 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 119 minutes. The aircraft used 4,897 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of departure and landing were cold, with temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius and 1 degree Celsius, respectively.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) on runway 26R. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,552 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good approach speed of 147 knots, which is within the target threshold speed.
However, the threshold height at 395 feet agl was found to be excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft descended more than expected during the final approach. Despite this, the touchdown point was 331 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, which is relatively mild. The total landing distance of 1,904 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway length.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 86.2%.
