Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 48 kt fast at 209 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 19 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 1,839 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,839 m of the 3,036 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 508 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London Heathrow Airport, the Airbus A319 began its takeoff roll on runway 27R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 178 kt in 1,398 meters, which was 39% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a 22 kt headwind at 270°.
As the aircraft continued its enroute climb, it reached an altitude of 26,114 ft asl, an increase of 25,033 ft in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nm. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 10 miles south of Goring-by-Sea, England, and lasted for 67 minutes, covering a distance of 462 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 27,333 ft asl to 3,692 ft asl, a decrease of 23,641 ft in 21 minutes, covering 120 nm. The descent phase was punctuated by brief level cruises, including a 2-minute cruise at 1 mile south of Sitges, Spain, covering 5 nm. The final descent phase started 5 miles south of Sitges and ended with a landing on runway 06L at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport.
The landing was executed with a threshold height of 57 ft agl, slightly above the target, and a threshold speed of 142 kt, well above the target. The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -225 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,763 meters, which was 61% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 659 nm, and the aircraft used 4,599 kg of fuel during the flight, which lasted 113 minutes.
The final approach to runway 06L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport was conducted from the south west, heading 65.0° at 4 nm and 1,277 ft agl. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 57 ft agl that was slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down 97 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 kt, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate of -225 fpm was fair, indicating a relatively smooth descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. However, the rollout phase was marred by a slight misalignment from the centreline, with the aircraft deviating by 17.9 m. The total landing distance of 1,763 m was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The threshold speed of 142 kt was well above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a high speed during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 18 kt at 30°. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the headwind component was 14 kt. Overall, the landing was scored 92.4%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and runway alignment, although the rollout alignment and threshold speed were not ideal.
