Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.6° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 13° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,825 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,879 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A321 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 02R at KBNA Nashville International Airport, with the aircraft taking off after covering a distance of 5,764 feet, which was 72% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of KBNA Nashville International Airport, rising from 1,331 feet above sea level to 14,001 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,670 feet, in just 7 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 6 miles southwest of TN77 Whifferdill Airport, lasting 71 minutes and covering a distance of 331 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its enroute descent overhead Lowell, Arkansas, descending from 14,086 feet above sea level to 13,088 feet above sea level, a decrease of 998 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then resumed 2 miles south of KXNA Northwest Arkansas National Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, experiencing several enroute climbs and descents, level cruises, and changes in altitude. It climbed from 13,014 feet above sea level to 13,991 feet above sea level, an increase of 977 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. It then levelled off and cruised for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 95 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its final descent, descending from 13,723 feet above sea level to 10,985 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,737 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. It then levelled off and cruised for several minutes before starting its final descent, landing on runway 35L at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 500 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -36 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 4,234 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 566 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 159 minutes. The aircraft used 12,920 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at KOKC Will Rogers World Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,490 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway 35L, which has a length of 9,825 feet.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown point was located 500 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -36 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F. The total landing distance of 4,234 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills were evident in the high score achieved. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed without any issues or deviations from the standard operating procedures.
