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 9.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 364 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 536 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,001 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,001 m of the 2,858 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,107 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 07 at Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, located in Saint Kitts and Nevis. The takeoff distance was 1,690 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 16 knots at a direction of 70 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of Monkey Hill, and continued to climb from an altitude of 834 feet above sea level to 34,011 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,177 feet, in 39 minutes and covering a distance of 231 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 30 miles north of the ZC05 San Juan Static Carrier - CVN76, located in Puerto Rico. This phase lasted for 240 minutes and covered a distance of 1,533 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles south of Springville, located in New York, United States. The descent from 34,030 feet above sea level to 3,010 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,020 feet, took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of CPM5 Volk Airport Tottenham, located in Ontario, Canada. This phase lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of Mississauga, also located in Ontario, Canada. The descent from 3,037 feet above sea level to 2,012 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,026 feet, took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06L at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 46.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,453 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 06L was characterized by a threshold height that was excessively over target, a threshold speed that was well above target, and a touchdown point that was 677 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -401 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 21 knots at a direction of 60 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 20 knots. The total landing distance was 1,906 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,903 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 328 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 16,930 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed on runway 06L at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 46.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,453 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was 677 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was also scrutinized, with the threshold height being excessively over target at 133 feet agl. This suggests that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or too late, potentially affecting the overall stability of the approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 146 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's excessive descent rate.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 130 knots, which was slightly faster than the desired speed. The touchdown rate was also hard at -401 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a rapid deceleration upon contact with the runway. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 13.7 meters from the centerline, which may have affected the aircraft's stability and control during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -12°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 20 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's performance during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,906 meters, which was 67% of the available runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was again found to be misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline, indicating a continued deviation from the intended path. Overall, while the aircraft successfully landed on the runway, the landing was not without its challenges, and the pilots may need to review and refine their approach and landing techniques to improve the aircraft's performance and safety.
