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 8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 60 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 60 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 803 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 803 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 11 at DTTA Tunis Carthage International Airport in 5 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 11, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,669 m, representing 59 % of the runway, and lifted off at 150 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 25 °C, wind from 150° at 6 kt, with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced about 1 mile south-east of DTTA, with the flight climbing from 949 ft asl to 29,010 ft asl, an increase of 28,061 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 77 nm.
Descent began 36 miles south-west of Marettimo, Italy, descending from 29,010 ft asl to 1,322 ft asl, a loss of 27,688 ft over 21 minutes and a distance of 108 nm.
The final approach to runway 25 at LICJ Falcone-Borsellino Airport involved a descent from 1,335 ft agl to 88 ft agl in 111 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 25 was executed with a runway length of 3,130 m; the threshold height at 60 ft agl was above target while the threshold speed was 128 kt. Touchdown occurred 378 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 259 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.0 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 20 °C, wind from 190° at 6 kt, with a 5 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,387 m, equivalent to 44 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment during rollout was offset by 8.8 m from the centreline.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In summary, the flight covered 192nm, lasted 43 minutes, and consumed 1,881 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Mitiga International Airport, scoring a high 97.6% on its performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,374 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 3,356 meters.
The landing was executed well, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 139 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 327 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -372 feet per minute (fpm). This firm touchdown rate could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. This indicates that the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,324 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor areas for improvement.
