Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 124 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 130 kt against a 124 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: 124 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 5.9° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,045 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 56 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A220-300 taxied from the parking area to runway 30L at KMSP, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 30L at KMSP, accelerating to a takeoff distance of 1,675 m, which represented 55 % of the runway. Rotation was achieved at 136 kt. Ambient conditions were 28 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 187°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead KMSP, climbing from 1,806 ft asl to 37,499 ft asl, an altitude gain of 35,693 ft achieved in 26 minutes while covering 153 nm.
The first level cruise started 4 mi south-east of Rock Rapids, Iowa, and persisted for 97 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 586 nm.
Descent commenced 2 mi south-east of Manassa, Colorado, descending from 37,873 ft asl to 20,015 ft asl, a loss of 17,858 ft in 10 minutes and covering 62 nm.
A subsequent cruise segment began 9 mi west of Chili, New Mexico, lasting 3 minutes and spanning 18 nm.
The next descent started 8 mi west of Los Alamos, New Mexico, dropping from 19,727 ft asl to 14,005 ft asl, a decrease of 5,722 ft over 3 minutes and covering 16 nm.
A brief cruise followed 7 mi east of Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm.
The final descent began 4 mi south-east of Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, descending from 13,904 ft asl to 6,047 ft asl, a reduction of 7,857 ft in 7 minutes while traveling 27 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 21 at KABQ, descending from 1,127 ft agl to 25 ft agl in 83 seconds; the approach was recorded as scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 21 at KABQ, which is 3,045 m long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 131 kt, slightly above target, and touched down 56 m beyond the threshold at 129 kt with a firm touchdown rate of minus 324 fpm; alignment at touchdown was perfect. Weather at the time was 24 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 190°, a cross-wind component of 8 kt and a head-wind component of 12 kt.
The total landing roll measured 1,001 m, representing 33 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was described as very good.
After exiting the runway, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 878 nm, required 158 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4,391 kg of
