Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 9.3 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 9.3 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,075 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 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 Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36L, with a takeoff distance of 1,896 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 37°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 269°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from 3,005 feet above sea level to 34,585 feet, an increase of 31,580 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The climb started 2 miles northwest of Paracuellos de Jarama, Spain. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 30 minutes and covering 425 nautical miles, starting 2 miles north of Samaniego, Spain.
The enroute descent began overhead Bois-Jerome-Saint-Ouen, France, with the aircraft descending from 34,409 feet to 12,254 feet, a decrease of 22,155 feet in 5 minutes, covering 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 40 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southeast of Miraumont, France. The enroute descent started again overhead EBTY Maubray Airfield Péruwelz, Belgium, with the aircraft descending from 12,153 feet to 10,074 feet, a decrease of 2,079 feet in 2 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles, starting 1 mile north of Flobecq, Belgium. The enroute descent started again overhead Herzele, Belgium, with the aircraft descending from 10,072 feet to 1,966 feet, a decrease of 8,106 feet in 5 minutes, covering 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, starting 1 mile north of Begijnendijk, Belgium.
The enroute climb started again overhead Baal, Belgium, with the aircraft climbing from 2,229 feet to 3,038 feet, an increase of 809 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent started again 1 mile west of Werchter, Belgium, with the aircraft descending from 3,052 feet to 1,871 feet, a decrease of 1,181 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25R at Brussels Airport began from the north-east, heading 240.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,695 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 25R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 275 meters, a touchdown speed of 124 knots, and a touchdown rate of -325 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 a temperature of 18°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 340°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 976 meters, which was 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 743 nautical miles, taking 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 5
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25R, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 240.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,695 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 128 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 275 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -325 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.5 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 976 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the slight deviation in the runway touchdown position and the minor misalignment of the aircraft with the centerline are areas for improvement.
