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 8.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,595 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,595 m of the 2,753 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 23, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,879 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 199 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 1,676 feet above sea level to 34,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,335 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 2 miles northeast of Sheffield, Pennsylvania, and lasted for 113 minutes, covering a distance of 706 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 8 miles east of Nocatee, Florida, and saw the aircraft descend from an altitude of 33,980 feet above sea level to 1,405 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,575 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 360 degrees at an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 35R, which was 2,753 meters long, with the threshold height being slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 119 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -81 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 10 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,514 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 8 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 940 nautical miles, taking 174 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,672 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 35R, which has a length of 2,753 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the touchdown zone, 119 meters past the designated area. The touchdown speed was a bit higher than ideal, at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent, at -81 feet per minute (fpm). The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good, at 139 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 10°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 7 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,514 meters, which is 55% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline, by 11.7 meters. This deviation was also observed during the touchdown, where the aircraft was 7.5 meters off-centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Airbus A320 was satisfactory, with a score of 94.5%.
