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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 242 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 297 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,893 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,893 m of the 2,094 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 696 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 26L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,903 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 4°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. The enroute climb began overhead College Park, Georgia, where the aircraft ascended from 1,921 feet above sea level to 36,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,089 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of Parrish, Alabama, and lasted for 183 minutes, covering a distance of 1,375 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 10 miles northwest of KMES Mesa Verde Airport in Mesa Verde, California, descending from 35,988 feet above sea level to 2,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,985 feet in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 147 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile southwest of KMYF Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in San Diego, California, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at KSAN San Diego International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,362 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 09, with a runway length of 2,094 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,806 meters, which was 86% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,701 nautical miles, taking a total of 255 minutes and using 10,730 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) with a score of 85.6%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,362 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 2,094 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 141 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 274 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was good, but the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout alignment of 13.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 90°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 0 and 1 knots, respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,806 meters was 86% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some minor issues with the touchdown point and runway alignment, which may require attention to improve the aircraft's landing performance.
