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 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep easing the back pressure to let the aircraft settle from 72 ft instead of holding it level.
What happened: The sink was arrested at 72 ft and held there instead of being let down.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: continuous descent through the normal flare band to touchdown

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: off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.

The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 34 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,577 feet, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 177 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,986 feet above sea level to 35,831 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,845 feet, in 30 minutes and covering a distance of 113 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southeast of Shelby, Alabama. This phase lasted for 39 minutes and covered a distance of 177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Hurley, Mississippi. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,759 feet above sea level to 8,428 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,331 feet, in 31 minutes and covering a distance of 91 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of KNEW Lakefront Airport in New Orleans, Louisiana. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead 65LA Southern Seaplane Airport in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,970 feet above sea level to 1,857 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,114 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,839 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft landed on runway 29, which had a length of 9,778 feet. The threshold height at 107 feet above ground level was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was good at 136 knots.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 412 nautical miles and took 141 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7,078 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an Airbus A321N, successfully landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) on runway 29. The final approach was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 286.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,839 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was deemed satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the threshold height at 107 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired as it approached the runway.
Despite this minor deviation, the aircraft was able to successfully land on the 9,778-foot runway at KMSY. The landing was scored at 65.0%, suggesting that while the approach was generally satisfactory, there were some areas for improvement. Overall, the landing was considered safe and successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop on the runway without incident.
