Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 149 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 58 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 58 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 738 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,670 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,670 m of the 4,000 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 738 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from LTAC Esenboğa International Airport in Ankara, Turkey, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 03R, with the aircraft taking off after a distance of 2,090 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 146 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and a 4-knot wind at 287°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Ankara, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 33,911 feet above sea level after an increase of 29,776 feet in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 202 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 9 miles southeast of Sutculer, Turkey, and lasted for 47 minutes, covering 353 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 33,641 feet to 3,938 feet in 16 minutes, covering 100 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 2 miles northeast of HEAJ Al Jizah Airport, reducing the altitude from 3,365 feet to 1,746 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The Airbus A321 then began its final approach to runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport, with a heading of 49.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,392 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway length of 3,995 meters, with a threshold height of 58 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The touchdown speed was recorded at 135 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was good at -164 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,593 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 678 nautical miles, taking 114 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,686 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at HECA Cairo International Airport, with a threshold height of 58 feet above ground level, slightly above the target. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 143 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a heading of 49.0 degrees, aligning with the runway centerline, and touched down 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone.
The touchdown characteristics were acceptable, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from 299 degrees, resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,593 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.4%, indicating a good level of proficiency.
