Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,031 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,031 m of the 2,820 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 710 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 27R at London Heathrow Airport, where the Airbus A350-1000 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,874 meters, which is 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 300 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb from Colnbrook, England, at an altitude of 1,126 feet above sea level, and reached a maximum altitude of 32,695 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,568 feet in just 17 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 120 minutes, and covering a distance of 1,028 nautical miles, 3 miles north-west of Zuydcoote, France.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb from Gogosari, Romania, at an altitude of 34,072 feet above sea level, and reached a maximum altitude of 36,005 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,933 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 187 minutes, and covering a distance of 1,518 nautical miles, 5 miles south-west of Tsar Kaloyan, Bulgaria.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering another enroute climb from Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, at an altitude of 37,244 feet above sea level, and reached a maximum altitude of 39,176 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,932 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 492 minutes, and covering a distance of 1,147 nautical miles, 47 miles north-east of Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 39,956 feet above sea level, and descended to 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,648 feet in just 30 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles, 104 miles south-west of Diu Airport, India.
The final approach to runway 09 at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport was made from the west, heading 90 degrees, at an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level, and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 09, which has a length of 2,820 meters. The threshold speed was good at 138 knots, and the touchdown point was 302 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 340 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,959 meters, which is 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 4,038 nautical miles, taking 494 minutes, and the aircraft used 50,610 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,240 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 09, which has a length of 2,820 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 138 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was 302 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 139 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -300 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,959 meters was 69% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision, and the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and deviation from the touchdown zone may be areas for improvement.
