Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 149 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 167 kt against a rotation target of 149 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 149 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 112 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 1,589 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,589 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 622 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Bangor International Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 33, and the takeoff distance was 1,411 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 167 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Bangor International Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,269 feet above sea level to 31,953 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,684 feet.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of Saint-Joseph-de-Coleraine in Quebec, Canada. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 99 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 31,781 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,477 feet.
The final approach to runway 24L at Montreal/Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 223.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,179 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 2,925 meters, and the threshold height was excessively over target at 112 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 knots.
The touchdown point was 201 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -235 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, but the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 18 knots at 160 degrees. The crosswind was 16 knots, and the headwind was 8 knots. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 233 nautical miles, and the flight took 52 minutes. The aircraft used 2,374 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,179 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 201 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The landing performance was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 136 knots, which is a relatively acceptable value. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the pilots could have applied more braking or reverse thrust to slow down the aircraft more effectively.
The touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and winds of 18 knots at 160°, resulting in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,502 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively acceptable value. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.0 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft did not maintain a straight path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway rollout alignment.
