Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 56 kt fast at 226 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 137 kt, 8 kt below the 145 kt target, and lifted off at 160 kt 4.7 s later, the nose coming up at 1.5° a second. Climb 3 averaged 226 kt, 56 kt over its 170 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 878 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 774 m of runway left; gear up at 141 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 1,370 fpm on average to 878 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,500 m runway.
Rolled from 70 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 6.1 m at the widest, and lifted off 6.1 m right. Airborne 51 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up.
When the approach was stable
Never every check met at once: gear up all the way, fast from 0.4 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 30 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 52× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 3 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 36 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 22 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 0.4 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +14 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare strayed well off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 0.2° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 242 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.
No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.
Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 150 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 21 s, an average deceleration of 0.31 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target; began the flare late, at 7 ft. Touched down 242 m in, 63 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink stayed between 700 fpm and 740 fpm from the flare to the runway. The pitch barely changed.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down on the centreline, and stayed within 1.3 m of it down the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended.
The 242 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.83 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo departed from runway 27 at EPRZ Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport. Takeoff used 1,290 m, 52 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 137 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 35 seconds, averaging 1,283 fpm and reaching 248 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,644 ft asl to 25,962 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 37 nm, beginning 1 mile north of Rudna Wielka. Cruise level flight was at 26,000 ft asl for 27 minutes, covering 193 nm, starting 1 mile south-east of Rytwiany.
Descent from 26,002 ft asl to 2,153 ft asl took 13 minutes, covering 78 nm, beginning 3 miles south-east of EPBY Bydgoszcz Ignacy Jan Paderewski Airport. Level flight at 2,100 ft asl continued for 18 minutes, covering 55 nm, starting 4 miles south-east of Polczyn-Zdroj.
Final approach to runway 29 at EPSN Swidwin Military Air Base began with a descent from 1,346 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 90 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level; the gear-down check was not met.
Landing on runway 29 used a runway length of 2,489 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 152 kt. The flare was described as very poor, with little round-out before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 242 m down the runway at a speed of 150 kt, a little fast, with a very heavy rate of -709 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 890 m, 36 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 1 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 1 kt.
The total flight covered 370 nm in 71 minutes and consumed 1,330 kg of fuel.
