Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 145 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 128 kt, 17 kt before the 145 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 145 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 66 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 66 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 620 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,786 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,786 m of the 2,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 620 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at LESO San Sebastián Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,117 m, representing 70 % of the runway, and rotated at 128 kt. Ambient conditions were 24 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 240°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt tailwind component.
Climb commenced overhead Hendaye (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France), with the flight ascending from 970 ft asl to 30,009 ft asl - an increase of 29,039 ft - in 16 minutes while covering 93 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile north-east of Ares (Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France) and lasted 43 minutes, during which 297 nm were flown.
Descent began 11 miles east of Barfleur (Normandie, France), descending from 30,038 ft asl to 19,855 ft asl - a loss of 10,182 ft - in 6 minutes and covering 43 nm.
A second cruise phase started 31 miles north-west of Etretat (Normandie, France), lasting 3 minutes and spanning 21 nm.
The next descent originated 17 miles south of Seaford (East Sussex, England), dropping from 19,984 ft asl to 3,028 ft asl - a decrease of 16,956 ft - in 12 minutes and covering 53 nm.
A brief cruise over Penshurst (Kent, England) lasted 2 minutes and added 5 nm to the flight.
The final descent started 1 mile south-west of Edenbridge (Kent, England), reducing altitude from 2,991 ft asl to 1,503 ft asl - a loss of 1,488 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 4 nm.
On final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,352 ft agl to 89 ft agl in 102 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26L was performed with a runway length of 2,882 m; the threshold height at 66 ft agl was above target and the threshold speed was 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 202 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 175 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 210°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component. Total landing distance was 1,703 m, representing 59 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 525 nm, required 98 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,836 kg of fuel.
