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 6.4 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 2,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 428 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 ZWWW Ürümqi Diwopu International Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 07, with a takeoff distance of 1,782 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at a direction of 120 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 3,169 feet above sea level to 35,014 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,845 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 157 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles west of ZWKL Korla Licheng Airport. This phase lasted for 51 minutes and covered a distance of 785 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 8 miles southwest of Doiwala, India. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 105 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing its altitude from 35,180 feet above sea level to 2,015 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 11L at VIDP Indira Gandhi International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 104.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 11L, which has a length of 2,987 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 426 meters, but the touchdown speed of 134 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -218 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 79 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,242 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,055 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,515 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Indira Gandhi International Airport, VIDP, on runway 11L. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 104.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,263 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a high degree of precision, achieving a final approach score of 99.7%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 140 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 426 meters was within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,242 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
One area for improvement noted in the landing was the touchdown rate, which was fair at -218 feet per minute. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A320 landed safely and efficiently at Indira Gandhi International Airport, with a high degree of precision and control. The landing was executed with a high level of skill and expertise, and the aircraft performed well in the challenging weather conditions.
