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 7.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,527 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,527 m of the 3,758 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 410 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 32L at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,324 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 5 knots. The enroute climb started shortly after takeoff, with the aircraft ascending from 1,096 feet above sea level to 25,762 feet above sea level, an increase of 24,666 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The climb took place over Kuala Lumpur International Airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute descent started 36 miles northeast of Kisaran, Indonesia, where the aircraft began its descent from 25,845 feet above sea level to 11,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,443 feet in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles, before starting its descent again. This time, the descent took place from 10,805 feet above sea level to 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,497 feet in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at Kualanamu International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 225.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 410 meters and a touchdown speed of 131 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,446 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 186 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes, with the aircraft using 177 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at WIMM Kualanamu International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach to runway 23 was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 410 meters, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,446 meters was 38% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures.
