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 15 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 339 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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: centreline 7.2° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit and speed 43 kt FAST on the reference speed of 125 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 393 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Auckland International Airport (NZAA) on runway 05R, utilizing 31% of the 3,285-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 157 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 19 °C, with a wind speed of 17 kt at 0°, resulting in a headwind of 6 kt and a crosswind of 16 kt. The aircraft's takeoff distance was 1,025 meters, a relatively short distance considering the available runway length.
Following a brief enroute climb from 955 ft asl to 1,690 ft asl, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 1,690 ft asl for 6 minutes while covering 15 nm. The cruise phase concluded 2 miles south west of Wiri, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05R at NZAA. The approach was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft descending from 762 ft agl at a heading of 69.0°. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 127 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 395 m, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 120 kt was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -294 fpm was fair.
The aircraft landed on runway 05R, with a total landing distance of 921 m, accounting for 28% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.2 m from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 m from the centreline. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 21 nm, with a flight time of 11 minutes and a fuel consumption of 430 kg.
The aircraft touched down on runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport, a 3,285-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south west. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 127 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 120 knots, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 395 meters was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 921 meters, accounting for 28% of the runway, was within the acceptable range. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 93.4%.
