Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,239 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,239 m of the 4,001 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 491 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 10 at HLLM Mitiga International Airport in Tripoli, Libya. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 120°. The crosswind and headwind were both 0 knots. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport, with the aircraft climbing from 999 feet above sea level to 39,000 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,001 feet in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 209 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began at a latitude of 34.4521653 and a longitude of 16.6413188, lasting 85 minutes and covering a distance of 761 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 36 miles southeast of HE31 Malan Frein Airport in Muhafazat Matruh, Egypt. The descent from 39,000 feet above sea level to 1,664 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,335 feet, took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 163 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23C at HECA Cairo International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 229.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,308 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23C, which had a length of 4,001 meters, was successful, with a threshold height of good and a threshold speed slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 139 knots, with a firm touchdown rate of -321 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 289°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 2,164 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,142 nautical miles, taking 150 minutes and using 16,086 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at Cairo International Airport's runway 23C, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,308 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 4,001 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. This may have contributed to the touchdown speed being a little fast at 139 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -321 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 80 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which could have been a result of the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-center. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 289°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,164 meters, accounting for 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled roll-out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely within the designated runway area.
