Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 174 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 28 kt fast at 202 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 174 kt in the climb
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 204 m past the target, landing at 661 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,852 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,852 m of the 4,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 661 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Baghdad International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 33R, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 36 °C, with a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 300°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. With a liftoff speed of 172 knots, the aircraft successfully departed the runway, using only 47% of its 1,878-meter length.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,083 feet above sea level, eventually reaching a cruising altitude of 32,089 feet. This climb phase, which started approximately 1 mile southwest of Qasr Tall Mihl, covered a distance of 322 nautical miles and took 43 minutes to complete. The aircraft then leveled off and began its enroute cruise, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent, which started 7 miles west of Saveh, and ended at an altitude of 5,008 feet. This descent phase, which covered a distance of 84 nautical miles, took 12 minutes to complete.
As the aircraft approached Imam Khomeini International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 29R from the east, heading 289.0° at an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the airport were characterized by a temperature of 27 °C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 320°. The aircraft landed on the runway, using 42% of its 4,191-meter length, and touched down at a speed of 134 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -72 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 2 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 437 nautical miles and using 4,348 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29R at OIIE Imam Khomeini International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 142 kt was within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was slightly above the ideal, but the touchdown rate of -72 fpm was excellent, showcasing the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown point was located 250 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, was not excessively far off. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. However, the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,776 m, accounting for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 95.4% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
