Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 63 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Rotated at 66 kt, on the 65 kt target, and lifted off at 71 kt 0.6 s later, the nose coming up at 1.0° a second. Climb 3 held close to its 90 kt target, at 95 kt on average.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 724 ft. The distance scale changes past the runway end.
Reached 35 ft with 2,987 m of runway left; gear up at 31 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 140 fpm on average to 724 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,496 m runway.
Rolled from 115 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 1.7 m at the widest, and lifted off 1.7 m right. Airborne 8 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 1.4 nm, about 530 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 1.6 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 60 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 227 m right of the centreline at 1.6 nm, then inside the band from 1.4 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 29 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between −7 kt and +0 kt on the approach speed of 57 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Excellent landing flare. It lost 1.3 points, for the nose going up and down 2 times.
5 kt across from the left, which takes about 8° of crab to hold the centreline at 38 kt. Touched down with 7° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 030° at 6 kt · 3 kt head · 5 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 41 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.05 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 63 ft, 13 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 26 ft. Touched down 494 m in, 190 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 180 fpm at the flare to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.8° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1.9 m left of the centreline and drifted to 6.1 m left on the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 494 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), the aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As it rolled down runway 32L, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 72 knots, clearing the ground in a distance of 341 meters, which represented 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 28°C, with a gentle headwind of 7 knots and a crosswind of just 1 knot.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute phase, it began a series of level cruises and climbs, navigating through the skies over southern France. The first level cruise, which lasted less than a minute, took place 1 mile northwest of Merville, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then climbed from 957 feet above sea level to 2,119 feet, an increase of 1,162 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering 3 nautical miles. This pattern of level cruises and climbs continued, with the aircraft reaching altitudes of up to 2,474 feet above sea level and covering distances of up to 30 nautical miles during a 16-minute level cruise over Brassac.
As the aircraft began its descent into Bergerac Dordogne Périgord Airport (LFBE), it started its final approach to runway 09 from the west, heading 95.0° at 1 nautical mile and 206 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 38 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -38 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 677 meters, representing 34% of the runway length. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 88 nautical miles, using 14 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 60 minutes to complete the journey.
