Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 145 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,759 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,759 m of the 3,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 519 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 07 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,213 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Villeneuve-le-Roi in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from an altitude of 1,309 feet above sea level to 40,434 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 103 minutes and covered a distance of 945 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile east of Montourtier in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile south of Zawyat an Nwacer in the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 107 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 40,401 feet to 2,805 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at GMMX Menara Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 276.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,274 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 3,094 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 126 knots. The touchdown point was 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,671 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 1,182 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,790 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-900 successfully landed at GMMX Menara Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 276.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 28, which has a length of 3,094 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 126 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as wind resistance or the aircraft's weight. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The crosswind component was minimal, with a headwind of 17 knots and a crosswind of only 2 knots. This made the landing conditions relatively favorable. The touchdown point was 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,671 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and maintain control after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to slow down quickly and maintain control after touchdown. The high score of 98.6% reflects the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
