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 5.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 128 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 134 kt, 6 kt above 128 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 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 500 ft gate: speed 18 kt FAST on the reference speed of 128 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 3,108 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 521 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at Pula Airport, covering 2 nm in 7 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft used 1,564 m of runway, representing 53 % of the available length, and lifted off at 156 kt. Ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 259°, providing a 7 kt headwind and a 1 kt crosswind component.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Loborika (Istria, Croatia), with the flight ascending from 1,206 ft asl to 35,887 ft asl, an increase of 34,681 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 108 nm.
The first cruise segment began 1 mile east of Pincara (Veneto, Italy) and continued for 234 minutes, during which 1,589 nm were flown.
Descent started 6 miles south-west of El Cotillo (Canary Islands, Spain), descending from 36,467 ft asl to 2,641 ft asl, a loss of 33,826 ft in 18 minutes over a distance of 100 nm.
A short cruise followed, initiating 3 miles east of GCLB El Berriel Aeroc Airport (Gran Canaria Island) and lasting 5 minutes while covering 15 nm.
The subsequent descent began 5 miles east of the same airport, dropping from 2,554 ft asl to 1,346 ft asl, a reduction of 1,208 ft in 2 minutes across 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 03L at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 21.0°, at 4 nm and 1,292 ft agl.
Landing on runway 03L, whose length is 3,108 m, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt. Touchdown was recorded 94 m beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 124 kt and a fair touchdown rate of minus 234 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather reported 28 °C, wind 25 kt from 30°, with a 4 kt crosswind and a 25 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 1,210 m, representing 39 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the landing roll within the measured 1,210 m distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, covering less than 1 nm in 1 minute.
In total, the flight covered 1,826 nm, required 284 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 12,163 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 23 at LEMI Región de Murcia International Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,315 ft AGL to 60 ft AGL in 103 seconds, scoring on the stabilisation gates, while ambient temperature was 24 °C and wind was 2 kt from 309° (2 kt cross-wind, 0 kt head-wind).
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 126 kt.
Touchdown occurred 309 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, which was judged good, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 348 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.1 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 1,128 m, representing 38 % of the 3,000 m runway.
To refine the already strong performance, focus on maintaining tighter centreline tracking through flare and rollout to reduce the 8-metre lateral deviation, which will further improve alignment without affecting the overall score.
