Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 140 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 156 kt, 16 kt past the 140 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 129 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 140 kt against a target of 129 kt, 11 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 129 kt by the gate and held to 129 kt at the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,411 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,411 ft of the 8,449 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,309 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 19L at YBBN Brisbane International Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 19L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 161 kt and became airborne after a takeoff distance of 6,029 ft, representing 52 % of the runway. Local weather reported a temperature of 74 °F, wind 2 kt from 210°, with a 0 kt crosswind component and a 2 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile north of Pinkenba, with the A220-300 ascending from 899 ft asl to 36,211 ft asl, a gain of 35,311 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 153 nm.
The first cruise segment began 4 miles north-east of Bauple and continued for 17 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 113 nm at level altitude.
Descent started 11 miles south-west of Bororen, with altitude decreasing from 36,213 ft asl to 3,415 ft asl, a loss of 32,798 ft over 15 minutes and a distance of 84 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead The Caves, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The second descent began 3 miles west of Etna Creek, dropping from 3,406 ft asl to 1,238 ft asl, a reduction of 2,169 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 15 at YBRK Rockhampton Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 158.0°, at 4 nm and 1,193 ft agl.
Landing on runway 15, which is 8,429 ft long, was executed with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred at 1,310 ft down the runway, at a speed of 134 kt and a descent rate of minus 192 fpm, with perfect alignment. Local weather at the time was 73 °F, wind 4 kt from 130°, a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind. The total landing distance recorded was 5,149 ft, representing 61 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 369 nm, took 71 minutes, and consumed 5,007 lbs of fuel.
The Airbus A220-300 executed a final approach to runway 15 at YBRK Rockhampton Airport from the north on a heading of 158.0° at 4 nm and 1,193 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft encountered good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 1,310 ft down the runway at a speed of 134 kt and a vertical rate of minus 192 fpm, both recorded as good, and runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather was 73 °F with wind 4 kt from 130°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
The touchdown phase confirmed the previously noted figures, with the aircraft maintaining the 134 kt speed and minus 192 fpm sink rate while remaining perfectly aligned on the centreline, and the distance from the threshold remaining at the good 1,310 ft mark.
Rollout was completed with a total landing distance of 5,149 ft, representing 61 % of the 8,429 ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Maintain the current technique but aim to touch down nearer the 1,000 ft (approximately 300 m) aim point to reduce the landing distance margin while preserving the excellent speed and alignment performance.
