Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,984 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,512 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KGRB Austin Straubel International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 8 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 18, with the aircraft taking off in a 3,992-foot distance, representing 49% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 153 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 39°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 110°.
As the aircraft climbed out of KGRB, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport, reaching an altitude of 35,006 feet above sea level in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started overhead Harwood Heights, Illinois, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering 408 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of KAYX Arnold Air Force Base, Manchester, Tennessee, and descended to 2,906 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 4 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft touching down on the runway in a distance of 1,513 feet, representing 41% of the runway's length.
The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 129 knots and a touchdown rate of -427 feet per minute, which was slightly higher than expected. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline. The total landing distance was 3,725 feet, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 698 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 105 minutes and a fuel consumption of 10,189 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 140 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 1,513 ft was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 129 kt was slightly below the recommended value, but the touchdown rate of -427 fpm was hard, indicating a slight loss of control during the initial stages of the rollout. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 33 ft from the centreline, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 57 °F and a 5 kt headwind, were generally favorable for the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,725 ft was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 92.6% reflecting a high degree of proficiency and control during the landing phase.
