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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 124 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 68 ft agl, 18 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 135 kt, 11 kt over the 124 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 316 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 124 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 773 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo departed from runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport, applying a take-off roll of 981 m which represented 27 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 154 kt. Ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind from 240° at 8 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft rose from 1,024 ft asl to 1,528 ft asl, gaining 505 ft in 1 minute while covering 3 nm over the airport vicinity.
Cruise commenced 2 miles south of NZAA and persisted for 3 minutes, during which the flight covered 10 nm at level altitude.
The descent phase reduced altitude from 1,574 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 103 seconds, establishing the final approach configuration.
On final approach the aircraft aligned with runway 23L at NZAA, operating under the same temperature of 14 °C and wind of 8 kt from 240°, with a 1 kt cross-wind and 7 kt head-wind.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold height of 68 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 135 kt was slightly above the target. Touchdown occurred 351 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 123 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 168 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.7 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,147 m, representing 31 % of the runway.
Runway rollout showed a slight centreline deviation of 9.1 m before the aircraft exited the paved surface.
The aircraft taxied to parking in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the taxiways.
In total the flight covered 19 nm, lasted 8 minutes, and consumed 247 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo conducted a stabilised approach to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits as assessed at the 1,000 ft gate. The final descent progressed from 1,574 ft AGL to 89 ft AGL in 103 seconds, maintaining the required parameters throughout the approach.
At threshold the aircraft was 68 ft AGL, which was above the target height, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 135 kt. Local conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 240°, comprising a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
Touchdown occurred 351 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 kt described as a little fast. The vertical speed at touchdown was a good -168 fpm, but the touchdown point was misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,147 m, representing 31 % of the 3,671 m runway, and the aircraft remained slightly misaligned during rollout, deviating 9.1 m from the centreline.
Maintain the aim point approximately 300 m (1,000 ft) in and refine speed control to meet the target threshold speed, while focusing on tighter centreline tracking to reduce the 8-9 m deviations observed at touchdown and during rollout.
