Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 168 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 202 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 168 kt in the climb
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 209 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 209 fpm next time
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 472 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 09R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, a movement that lasted 5 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 168 kt and left the ground after traveling 1,401 m, which represented 42 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 089°, giving a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb commenced about 1 mile north of Feltham, with the airplane ascending from 1,066 ft asl to 36,774 ft asl-a gain of 35,708 ft-over 27 minutes while covering 179 nm.
Level cruise began 18 miles north-east of Lanmodez in Bretagne and continued for 85 minutes, during which the flight covered 607 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated 5 miles south-east of Pombal, Portugal, with the aircraft descending from 37,003 ft asl to 1,623 ft asl, a loss of 35,380 ft, in 24 minutes and traversing 117 nm.
The final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport started from 1,323 ft agl and reduced to 35 ft agl in 96 seconds; the approach was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 02 was achieved with a threshold speed of 142 kt; touchdown occurred 60 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt and a vertical rate of minus 210 fpm, with runway alignment described as very good; local conditions were 19 °C, wind 2 kt from 320°, cross-wind 2 kt and head-wind 1 kt.
The subsequent runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,022 m, representing 28 % of the 3,710 m runway, and the rollout alignment was noted as perfect.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 911 nm, required 145 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 6,918 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at FSIA Seychelles International Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,218 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 31, which has a length of 2,341 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 142 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was slightly higher than desired, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -337 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a negligible wind speed of 2 knots at 0°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 and 1 knots, respectively.
The total landing distance of 1,884 meters was 80% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may be attributed to a minor deviation during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
