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 27 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,692 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 552 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Brussels Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 25R, with a takeoff distance of 1,427 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 360°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Machelen, Flanders, Belgium, and the aircraft ascended from 1,046 feet above sea level to 19,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,963 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north-east of Taisnieres-sur-Hon, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 2 miles south-east of Sissonne, Hauts-de-France, France, and descended from 18,994 feet above sea level to 11,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,989 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed overhead Feigneux, Hauts-de-France, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile north of Baron, Hauts-de-France, France, and the aircraft descended from 11,008 feet above sea level to 1,692 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,316 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport took place from the west, with a heading of 85.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,316 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 09L, which had a length of 2,692 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -186 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 5°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 340°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,288 meters, which was 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 162 nautical miles, taking 47 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,846 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 85.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,316 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09L, which has a length of 2,692 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 138 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a slightly longer landing distance.
The touchdown point was 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and winds of 3 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance of 1,288 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
