Flight Score
Maintain the centreline
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 3,728 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 327 m touchdown sits inside 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 LTAI Antalya International Airport, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 36R, with a takeoff distance of 1,831 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 13°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 12 knots, while the headwind was 8 knots. After departing from Antalya, the enroute climb began 1 mile northeast of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,175 feet above sea level to 34,999 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,824 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 146 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 70 miles west of Pegeia, Cyprus, and lasted for 49 minutes, covering a distance of 381 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles west of HE29 Abu Rudeis, Egypt, descending from 35,000 feet above sea level to 1,395 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,605 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at HEGN Hurghada International Airport was made from the south, heading 345.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 34R, which had a length of 3,728 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height, threshold speed of 141 knots, and touchdown distance of 327 meters. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy at -636 feet per minute.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 22 knots at 330°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 21 knots.
The total landing distance was 934 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 674 nautical miles, taking 104 minutes, and the aircraft used 996 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at Hurghada International Airport (HEGN) on runway 34R, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 132 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate was slightly heavy at -636 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than intended.
The landing was conducted in a local weather condition of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 22 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 21 knots. This favorable wind condition likely contributed to the successful landing.
Despite the good overall performance, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift during the rollout.
The total landing distance of 934 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of maintaining a more precise approach path and rollout alignment.
