Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 7°.
What happened: The wings held 7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 6° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,849 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,849 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 705 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-900, then departed from runway 27L at London Heathrow Airport (EGLL). The takeoff distance was 987 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 25 knots at 210 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Harmondsworth in Greater London, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,096 feet above sea level to 5,880 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,783 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Weybridge in Surrey, England, lasting for 7 minutes and covering 33 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 1 mile northeast of West Malling in Kent, England. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,628 feet above sea level to 34,931 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,303 feet, in 24 minutes and covering a distance of 162 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile east of Wavre in Wallonia, Belgium, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 30 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Engis in Wallonia, Belgium. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,962 feet above sea level to 6,755 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,208 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 2 miles northwest of Steinau an der Strasse in Hessen, Germany, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute descent, starting 3 miles southeast of Steinau an der Strasse in Hessen, Germany. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 6,506 feet above sea level to 4,505 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,000 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile south of Gelnhausen in Hessen, Germany, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) from the east, heading 250.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 25L, which had a length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 287 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -341 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,762 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a
The Airbus A350-900 aircraft successfully landed on runway 25L at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 81.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,290 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 287 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Although the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was a bit faster than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -341 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable approach and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C. The total landing distance of 1,762 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was significantly misaligned by 34.1 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of accidents.
