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 8.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 286 m touchdown sits inside 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 17 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 26L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,863 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead College Park, Georgia. The climb took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 118 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,780 feet above sea level to 33,871 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,091 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles north of the TN89 Possum Bottom Airport in Whitwell, Tennessee. This phase lasted for 137 minutes and covered a distance of 897 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 9 miles southeast of Hugo, Colorado. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 94 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 34,008 feet above sea level to 7,032 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,976 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of the CO82 Land Airport in Keenesburg, Colorado. This phase lasted for only 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16L at Denver International Airport, which was located to the north. The approach was made at a heading of 181.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and 1,476 feet above ground level.
The landing was made on runway 16L, which had a length of 3,670 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 143 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 287 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,421 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.8 meters.
The final taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,130 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 200 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,483 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at KDEN Denver International Airport on runway 16L, achieving a score of 95.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,476 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 143 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the recommended value at 142 knots, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 287 meters was within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's alignment during the landing roll. The total landing distance of 1,421 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again slightly misaligned by 9.8 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial misalignment, or it could be attributed to the aircraft's deceleration and directional control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
