Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 207 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 141 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 143 kt, 2 kt above the 141 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 141 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,779 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 339 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 27L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27L, the aircraft accelerated over a take-off distance of 1,620 m, representing 45 % of the runway, and lifted off at 181 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 260°, providing a 3 kt headwind and zero cross-wind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile north-west of Roissy-en-France, with the flight ascending from 1,312 ft asl to 32,464 ft asl - a gain of 31,152 ft - in 22 minutes while covering 130 nm.
The first cruise segment began about 2 miles north-east of Chateauneuf-Val-de-Bargis and continued for 280 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 2,042 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 66 miles south-east of the R084 Cyprus Static Carrier - Queen Elizabeth, reducing altitude from 33,009 ft asl to 2,368 ft asl, a loss of 30,641 ft, in 18 minutes and over a distance of 113 nm.
A brief level cruise followed, initiating 3 miles south of Jbail (Mohafazat Mont-Liban, Lebanon), lasting 5 minutes and covering 13 nm before the final approach.
For the final approach to runway 21 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,233 ft agl to 18 ft agl in 85 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 21 was executed with a threshold speed of 143 kt; touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the touchdown zone at 136 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 182 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 5.2 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 22 °C, wind 2 kt from 222°, a 1 kt headwind and no cross-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,428 m, equivalent to 51 % of the runway length, and rollout alignment was recorded as very good.
Runway rollout proceeded smoothly, maintaining the alignment noted during landing and concluding the ground phase of the flight.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,308 nm, required 336 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 14,953 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321ceo approached runway 21 at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the centreline, while ambient temperature was 22 °C, wind 2 kt from 222°, with a 1 kt head-wind component and no cross-wind.
During the final approach the aircraft descended from 1,233 ft agl to 18 ft agl in 85 seconds, achieved a good threshold height and maintained a good threshold speed of 143 kt.
Touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a good touchdown speed of 136 kt and a good vertical rate of minus 182 fpm; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 5.2 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,428 m, representing 51 % of the 2,779 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
To raise the 80.3 % score, focus on maintaining centreline tracking through the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilised approach, and refine flare timing to keep the touchdown point within the touchdown zone and reduce the 5.2 m lateral offset.
