Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 36 kt fast at 197 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 3.2 ft, 8.1 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,007 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 194 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to the runway for 4 minutes, covering 1 nm, and departed from runway 11 at LRTR Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport. Take-off was performed on a 1,081 m roll, which is 31 % of the runway length. Rotation occurred at 149 kt. Local weather at departure was 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 310°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 19 seconds, averaging 2,333 fpm and reaching 205 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,289 ft asl to 38,009 ft asl in 14 minutes, covering 84 nm while the aircraft was overhead the departure airport. Level cruise was held at 38,000 ft asl for 35 minutes, covering 264 nm, beginning 4 miles south-west of Roszke.
Descent began from 38,017 ft asl and proceeded to 1,498 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 158 nm, starting 3 miles west of Ankaran, with a brief level-off at 5,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 04 at LIPX Verona Villafranca Valerio Catullo Airport descended from 1,320 ft agl to 25 ft agl in 134 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. The landing gear was lowered at 2,904 ft agl at 130 kt, and final flap position 5 was selected at 2,887 ft agl at 128 kt.
Landing was made on runway 04, whose length is 3,007 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was 111 kt. The flare was very poor, starting late. Touchdown occurred 194 m from the threshold at 111 kt, with a hard rate of -410 fpm. The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned, 4.6 m off the centreline, and experienced one bounce. Local weather at landing was 17 °C, wind 4 kt from 037°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total flight covered 511 nm, lasted 83 minutes, and consumed 2,774 kg of fuel.
