Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 57 kt fast at 218 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
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 9 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.
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 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 426 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 27R, taking off with a liftoff speed of 176 kt after a 1,484 m takeoff distance, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 17 °C, with a wind of 10 kt at 60 °, resulting in a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 9 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Harmondsworth, Greater London, England, and continued to ascend to 37,056 ft asl, a gain of 35,966 ft in 12 minutes, covering 80 nm. The enroute climb was followed by a series of level cruises, with the first starting 1 mile north east of Bream, Gloucestershire, England, lasting 11 minutes and covering 81 nm. The aircraft then began its descent from 37,087 ft asl to 33,236 ft asl, a decrease of 3,851 ft in 5 minutes, covering 36 nm. This was followed by another level cruise, starting 20 miles north west of Saint Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales, lasting 29 minutes and covering 3 nm. The final descent from 32,685 ft asl to 3,038 ft asl, a decrease of 29,647 ft in 23 minutes, covered 125 nm. The aircraft then entered a short level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm, before beginning its final descent from 2,937 ft asl to 1,320 ft asl, a decrease of 1,617 ft in 3 minutes, covering 6 nm.
The Airbus A319 touched down on runway 24 at Shannon Airport, Ireland, with a touchdown distance of 437 m, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed of 109 kt was slightly above the target, while the touchdown rate of -241 fpm was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 344 nm, taking 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,499 kg of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 24 at EINN Shannon Airport was initiated from the north east, heading 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,276 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 67 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 114 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 437 meters, but the touchdown speed of 109 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -241 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 13 knots at 300°, contributed to a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,181 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the braking or steering. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.6%.
