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 5.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,129 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 388 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LGSM Samos Airport, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 09, with a takeoff distance of 1,408 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 33 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 20 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered a crosswind of 13 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Pythagoreio in the North Aegean region of Greece, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,067 feet above sea level to 16,670 feet, a total increase of 15,602 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 17 miles southwest of Patmos in the South Aegean region, and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase started 6 miles southeast of Amorgos, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 16,193 feet to 838 feet, a total decrease of 15,355 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at LGSR Santorini Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 340.0 degrees at an altitude of 714 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 33, which had a length of 2,129 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 387 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -122 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 340 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,060 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 108 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1,688 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LGSR Santorini Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 340.0° at 2 nautical miles and 714 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 151 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. However, the touchdown distance of 387 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 145 kt was a little fast, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's descent and avoided any sudden drops or jolts.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's response to the wind conditions. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully corrected the aircraft's trajectory and maintained control during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 19 kt from 340°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 19 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and rollout phases.
