Flight Score
Arrival
Stop increasing back pressure once the sink is arrested near 8.2 ft, holding pitch instead of continuing to rotate.
What happened: You kept adding back pressure through the flare, raising the nose 3° and carrying pitch well above this type's normal touchdown attitude - tail strike territory.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal ground attitude at touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 731 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft in question was an Airbus A319, and it departed from runway 26 at CYQR Regina International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,009 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 289°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile west of CYQR Regina International Airport, rising from an altitude of 3,005 feet above sea level to 37,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,004 feet in 17 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 11 miles west of Moosomin, Saskatchewan. This phase of the flight lasted 111 minutes and covered 880 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 11 miles southeast of CNR4 Tobermory Airport, Tobermory, Ontario, descending from 37,011 feet above sea level to 3,602 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,408 feet in 22 minutes and covering 110 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 3 miles northwest of Richmond Hill, Ontario, and lasting 11 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 226.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,418 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 301 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, which was considered good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2 °C and a wind speed of 15 knots at 189°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,394 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 1,113 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 179 minutes. The aircraft used 5,732 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a score of 91.0%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,418 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a speed of 113 kt, which was considered good. However, the touchdown point was 301 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The threshold height at 61 ft agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Nevertheless, the threshold speed of 124 kt was good, demonstrating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 15 kt at 189°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 12 kt, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,394 meters was 44% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 91.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and a slightly high touchdown rate, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the landing.
