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 9.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 131 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 142 kt against a 131 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 kt at the threshold
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
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.
Touched down 631 m past the threshold — beyond 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 15 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 29 at the Greater Moncton Roméo LeBlanc International Airport (CYQM). The takeoff distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, a wind speed of 26 knots at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 26 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,754 feet above sea level (asl) to 35,657 ft asl, an increase of 33,903 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile north of Dieppe, New Brunswick, Canada. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead the CCG3 Weyman Airpark Burtt's Corner in New Brunswick, Canada, and lasted for 69 minutes, covering a distance of 435 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 5 miles west of the CYSX Baker's Valley Skatepark in Ontario, Canada, and involved a descent from 36,014 ft asl to 3,009 ft asl, a decrease of 33,005 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead the CYKZ Buttonville Municipal Airport in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began overhead Concord, Ontario, Canada, and involved a descent from 3,008 ft asl to 2,147 ft asl, a decrease of 861 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Humbermede, Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at the Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) was made from the northeast, heading 226.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 38 feet agl due to an unknown reason. The aircraft then landed on runway 23, which had a length of 3,195 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was above the target at 143 knots.
The touchdown point was 202 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was very hard at -575 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 239°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,342 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 666 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 157 minutes. The aircraft used 5,171 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing performance. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 226.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 202 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the ideal landing point. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was also a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touching down. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was very hard at -575 feet per minute (fpm), which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.
In addition to the deviations in touchdown point and speed, the runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline. This misalignment could have contributed to the aircraft's rollout being misaligned by 22.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -1°C and a wind of 21 knots at 239°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,342 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the landing performance could have been improved with more precise control and a more optimal approach speed. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement that the pilot and the aircraft's systems could focus on to achieve a more ideal landing performance.
