Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,925 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 318 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at MUCC Jardines Del Rey Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft taking off after covering 62% of the 1,850-meter runway. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 37°C temperature and winds of 20 knots at 110°. The crosswind was 13 knots, while the headwind was 15 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of MUCC Jardines Del Rey Airport, Cayo Coco, and continued from an initial altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,379 feet, an increase of 37,329 feet in 37 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 197 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 19 miles east of MYBG Great Harbour Cay Airport, Bullocks Harbour. This phase of the flight lasted 151 minutes and covered a distance of 1,089 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south of Whitehall, New York, and continued from an altitude of 38,059 feet to 3,207 feet, a decrease of 34,852 feet in 23 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which started 1 mile south of Montreal-Est, Quebec, Canada, and lasted only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Saint-Leonard, Quebec, Canada, and continued from an altitude of 2,866 feet to 1,408 feet, a decrease of 1,458 feet in 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport took place from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the 2,925-meter runway, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 319 meters, while the touchdown speed was 122 knots, also good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -520 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft landing exactly on the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,427 nautical miles, taking 224 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 8,983 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL) on runway 24L. The aircraft's final approach was from the north east, heading 223.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot achieved a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 134 knots, registering at 134 kt. The touchdown distance of 319 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -520 feet per minute (fpm), which may be a concern for the aircraft's landing gear and overall safety.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is essential for a safe landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 11 kt, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and improve control during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,138 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.4 meters from the centerline, which may require further investigation to determine the cause and implement corrective measures.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at CYUL was successful, with a high score of 92.5%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a safe and controlled landing. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment during rollout are areas that require attention to ensure continued safe operations.
