Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 13 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 11 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,835 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,835 m of the 3,747 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
Departing from Salt Lake City International Airport (KSLC), the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll on runway 34L was executed at a takeoff distance of 1,852 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 158 knots, with a local temperature of 14°C and a wind of 33 knots at 288°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Salt Lake City, it reached an altitude of 34,003 feet above sea level in 9 minutes, covering 168 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 36 minutes and covered 1,166 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to climb and cruise, with multiple segments of level flight interspersed with short climbs. Notably, the aircraft climbed from 34,276 feet to 36,001 feet in 2 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles. The final climb segment took the aircraft from 38,006 feet to 39,996 feet in 3 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles.
The Airbus A350-900 began its descent into Incheon International Airport (RKSI) 16 miles south east of Andong, South Korea. The descent phase lasted 13 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 40,003 feet to 1,354 feet above sea level, covering 138 nautical miles. The final approach was executed from the south east, heading 325.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,318 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 33R, with a total landing distance of 1,756 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 136 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that covered a total distance of 5,433 nautical miles, using 74,369 kilograms of fuel and lasting 203 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 33R at RKSI Incheon International Airport, a 3,755-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the south east. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.6 meters from the centreline, which was a notable deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 6 knots at 30 degrees, did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance of 1,756 meters was 47% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.7 meters. Despite these deviations, the overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.0%. The crew's ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the runway and manage the landing was evident, despite the minor discrepancies in approach and touchdown characteristics.
