Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 19 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 11 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A380-800 taxied from its parking position to runway 23L at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft used 1,289 m of runway, representing 35 % of the available length, and rotated at 138 kt. Ambient conditions were 14 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 320°, including an 11 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile south-west of NZAA, with the airplane ascending from 909 ft asl to 1,763 ft asl, an increase of 854 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
The level cruise segment began about 2 miles south of NZAA and lasted 4 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 12 nm.
Descent began from 1,485 ft agl and proceeded to 80 ft agl in 101 seconds.
On final approach to runway 23L, the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation gates criteria.
Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3,671 m. The threshold speed was recorded as 143 kt. Touchdown occurred 331 m down the runway at a speed of 139 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 369 fpm and a lateral deviation of 12.5 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 12 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 320°, comprising a 6 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,039 m, equivalent to 28 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 11.3 m.
In total, the flight covered 20 nm, required 9 minutes, and consumed 70,362 kg of fuel.
