Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 37 kt fast at 205 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 9.5 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 10 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,603 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 580 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo departed Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) on runway 18. The take-off roll used 2,565 m, which was 65 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 166 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with a 1 kt headwind from 170° and no cross-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 35 seconds, averaging 1,498 fpm and reaching 209 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,375 ft asl to 33,009 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 132 nm and beginning 2 nm south-west of Moerfelden-Walldorf.
The aircraft levelled at 33,000 ft asl for 55 minutes, covering 414 nm, starting 2 nm north-west of Meix-devant-Virton. Descent from 33,016 ft asl to 1,428 ft asl took 23 minutes and covered 141 nm, beginning 3 nm west of Saint-Symphorien, with a brief level-off at 10,100 ft asl.
On final approach to runway 12 at Bilbao Airport (LEBB), descent from 1,335 ft agl to 78 ft agl was completed in 96 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 3,497 ft agl at 190 kt, and the final flap position 5 was selected at 3,177 ft agl at 173 kt.
Touchdown occurred on runway 12, whose length is 2,603 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 150 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown was 164 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 142 kt, with a rate of -209 fpm (fair). The touchdown point was misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,424 m, 55 % of the runway, and the rollout was slightly misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline.
Local weather at Bilbao was 18 °C with a 2 kt wind from 070°, giving a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt cross-wind. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 698 nm in 109 minutes and used 5,453 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321ceo approached runway 12 at LEBB Bilbao Airport in a stabilised configuration at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits and the approach scored on the stabilisation gates; the descent covered 1,335 ft AGL to 78 ft AGL in 96 seconds.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 150 kt; the aircraft crossed the touchdown zone 167 m beyond its start, touched down at 142 kt which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at minus 103 fpm.
Touchdown occurred on runway 12, whose length is 2,603 m, with the touchdown point misaligned by 9.8 m from the centreline, a total landing distance of 1,424 m (55 % of the runway), temperature 18 °C, wind 2 kt from 070°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 1 kt.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, with a misalignment of 10.2 m from the centreline.
Minor refinements to centreline tracking on touchdown and during rollout would bring the already high 95.4 % score closer to perfection.
