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 5.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 6.4 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. 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 2,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 361 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 21R, it was cleared for departure, and with a takeoff distance of 1,522 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 140 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Detroit, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles and an altitude increase of 28,028 feet. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which began 18 miles southeast of Chatham-Kent Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 256 nautical miles. The cruise phase was then followed by a descent, which started 2 miles northeast of Sutliff Private Airport in Pennsylvania, and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 101 nautical miles and a decrease in altitude of 28,430 feet. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport, with a heading of 206.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 22L, with a touchdown distance of 361 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the threshold speed, at 125 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -167 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 447 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 81 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2,769 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, successfully executed a final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 206.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,280 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 130 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 361 meters was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the ideal value.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind of 10 knots at 160°, resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 7 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,073 meters, accounting for 50% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout. Overall, the landing was considered highly successful, with a score of 99.3%. The minor deviations from ideal touchdown speed and distance did not detract from the overall quality of the landing, which was marked by excellent approach quality, precise touchdown alignment, and a controlled rollout.
