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 18 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,689 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 350 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at UMMS Minsk National Airport, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 31L, with a takeoff distance of 1,412 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Minsk National Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,738 feet above sea level to 6,190 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,452 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 15 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. This was followed by another climb phase, where the aircraft ascended from 6,190 feet to 7,637 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,446 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb, this time from 7,636 feet to 37,513 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,877 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 164 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 11 miles southwest of Shakhovskaya, Russia. The descent from 37,346 feet above sea level to 4,159 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,187 feet in 17 minutes, covered a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, where the aircraft descended from 3,653 feet to 2,608 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,045 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to descend, this time from 2,608 feet to 1,215 feet above ground level, a decrease of 1,393 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 24L at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 255.0° at 4 nautical miles.
The landing on runway 24L was successful, with a touchdown distance of 351 meters, which was 22% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 112 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 240°.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 3,914 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24L at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach was executed from the east, heading 255.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,215 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a score of 99.7%. This indicates that the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 120 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 351 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 112 knots was also good.
However, the touchdown rate of -236 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have achieved a smoother touchdown. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 807 meters was only 22% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 24L at UUEE Sheremetyevo International Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing procedure. The pilot's performance was impressive, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected.
