Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
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 123 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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
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.
The 276 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 07 at CYDF Deer Lake Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. The takeoff distance was 1,534 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of CYDF Deer Lake Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,593 feet above sea level to 35,813 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,220 feet in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 42 miles northwest of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador, and lasted for 129 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 790 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 10 miles east of Bancroft, Ontario, and involved a descent from 35,998 feet above sea level to 3,148 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,850 feet in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Concord, Ontario, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 227.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,722 feet above ground level.
However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at an altitude of 1,132 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, which had a length of 3,195 meters. The threshold height at 123 feet above ground level was excessively over target, but the threshold speed was good at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 275 meters, but the touchdown speed at 122 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -440 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,115 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 983 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 183 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,083 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a score of 85.6%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 227.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,722 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 275 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -440 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway. The threshold height at 123 feet agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft may have descended slightly too quickly or too far during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -9°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,115 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the centerline of the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A319 aircraft was able to safely touch down on the runway and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilots' skills and experience were evident in their ability to maintain control of the aircraft and navigate the challenging weather conditions.
