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 20 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed back to 140 kt well before the gate.
What happened: Approach was fast through the stabilisation gate, and the threshold was crossed at 152 kt against the 140 kt target. Carrying that extra speed in usually carries the touchdown long, which it did here at 2,106 ft against the 1,500 ft target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 51 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,945 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,945 ft of the 10,300 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,106 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. With the runway 24 clear, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 5,146-foot stretch of the 7,800-foot runway, which represented 64% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 153 knots, the aircraft successfully took to the skies, leaving the local weather conditions behind, with a temperature of 76°F and a gentle headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of the departure airport. Over the course of 22 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,198 feet above sea level to 37,002 feet, a vertical increase of 35,804 feet, covering a distance of 165 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 49-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude, covering a distance of 395 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport (LDDU). The descent phase, which started 5 miles west of Strmica, Croatia, saw the aircraft descend from 36,774 feet to 3,810 feet, a decrease of 32,964 feet, in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11 at LDDU was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 118.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and 1,298 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with precision, with the touchdown point located 798 feet beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 146 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -55 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 700 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 110 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 8,810 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 11 at LDDU Dubrovnik Ruđer Bošković Airport was conducted from the north west, with a heading of 118.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 56 feet above ground level being slightly above the target. This minor deviation was compensated by a well-executed approach, resulting in a threshold speed of 153 knots, significantly above the target.
The aircraft touched down 798 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots, which was faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 90°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 0°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 6,737 feet was 65% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
