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 22 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 135 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 141 kt, 6 kt above the 135 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 135 kt at the threshold.

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,717 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 34R at OEJN King Abdulaziz International Airport, located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The takeoff distance was 1,673 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 174 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 34°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles north of the airport and took the aircraft from 1,072 feet above sea level to 36,276 feet, an increase of 35,204 feet in just 16 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 100 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began its level cruise, which started 33 miles northeast of OETF Ta'if Regional Airport in Ta'if, Saudi Arabia. This phase of the flight lasted for 962 minutes and covered a distance of 3,380 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 7 miles southwest of Suphan Buri, Thailand. The descent took the aircraft from 36,516 feet to 4,241 feet, a decrease of 32,276 feet in just 19 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 71 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another level cruise, which started 14 miles south of Samut Prakan, Thailand. This phase of the flight lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 9 miles southeast of Samut Prakan. The descent took the aircraft from 4,108 feet to 1,329 feet, a decrease of 2,779 feet in just 4 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand, it began its final approach to runway 01L from the south. The aircraft was heading at 15.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 01L, which was 3,717 meters long, was successful, with a threshold height that was good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots.
The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -210 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 3,575 nautical miles and took 485 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 11,115 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at VTBS Suvarnabhumi Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 15.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,315 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 01L, which has a length of 3,717 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots. The touchdown point was 68 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -210 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,130 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a safe stop on the runway was demonstrated, despite the challenging weather conditions and slight deviations from the intended landing spot.
