Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 648 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 132 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 130 kt against a VREF of 132 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 132 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 38 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,520 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 311 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KLAS Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 26R, utilizing 46% of the available runway length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 157 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 18°C, with a 15-knot headwind and a calm crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Las Vegas, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 3,083 feet above sea level to 10,979 feet in a mere 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before the aircraft initiated another climb phase, this time from 11,000 feet to 31,783 feet in 10 minutes, covering 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged enroute level cruise, lasting 27 minutes and covering 199 nautical miles, before beginning its descent into San Francisco International Airport. The descent phase, which lasted 22 minutes and covered 111 nautical miles, brought the aircraft from 31,999 feet to 1,290 feet above sea level.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the Airbus A320 aligned itself with runway 28R at KSFO, descending from 1,270 feet above ground level at a heading of 298.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 129 knots, with a touchdown distance of 312 meters, or 39% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 15°C, with a 10-knot headwind and a 5-knot crosswind. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 401 nautical miles, a flight time of 79 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 2,438 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport with a threshold height of 55 ft above ground level, slightly above the target. The approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 131 knots, which was well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the touchdown distance of 312 meters was within the expected parameters.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -542 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a headwind of 10 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled approach.
The aircraft rolled out along the runway with very good alignment, maintaining its centerline position throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 1,364 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 95.9%, reflecting the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and controlled approach, despite a slightly fast touchdown speed.
