Improve the taxi
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,757 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,757 m of the 2,883 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 342 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from DAON Zenata – Messali El Hadj Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. With a departure roll on runway 25, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, utilizing 64% of the 1,654-meter runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 329°, resulting in a 12-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to 34,974 feet above sea level, it covered a distance of 106 nautical miles in 16 minutes, increasing its altitude by 33,383 feet. The enroute climb phase started 2 miles southwest of the departure airport, and the aircraft maintained a steady ascent until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 234 minutes, covering 617 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 34,741 feet to 25,111 feet in 5 minutes, covering 30 nautical miles. The subsequent descent phases saw the aircraft descend from 24,910 feet to 11,218 feet in 16 minutes, and then from 11,012 feet to 1,675 feet in 7 minutes.
The final approach to runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport was executed from the east, with a heading of 254.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,883-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 336 meters and a touchdown speed of 128 knots. The total landing distance was 1,668 meters, utilizing 58% of the runway. Following a taxiing period of 6 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 912 nautical miles and consuming 4,247 kilograms of fuel during the 169-minute flight.
The aircraft touched down on runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 132 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision from the pilot. The touchdown distance of 336 m was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 128 kt was also satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a hard touchdown rate of -424 fpm, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a high rate of descent to ensure a stable approach. However, this did not compromise the overall quality of the landing, as the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of accuracy and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 350 °, were also taken into account by the pilot, who successfully managed the crosswind and tailwind components.
The total landing distance of 1,668 m was 58% of the runway length, which is within the expected range for an aircraft of this size. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Despite this minor deviation, the overall score for the landing was 94.3%, indicating a high degree of proficiency and control from the pilot.
