Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 227 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 281 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 1,680 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,680 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at London Luton Airport, EGGW. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,047 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Luton, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,412 feet above sea level to 36,964 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,553 feet in just 20 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 104 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 22 miles northwest of Veulettes-sur-Mer in Normandie, France. This cruise phase lasted for 35 minutes and covered a distance of 251 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, which started overhead Saint-Didier-sur-Arroux in Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,377 feet above sea level to 2,688 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,689 feet in 22 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 88 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, LSGG, was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 3,570 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 7 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The touchdown point was 304 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -363 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,600 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 449 nautical miles and took 78 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,153 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 04, achieving a high score of 94.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 130 kt, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 139 kt. The touchdown point was located 304 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe distance from the runway's end. The touchdown rate of -363 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 7°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, providing a relatively stable and calm environment for the landing. The runway length of 3,570 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,600 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway's length.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a precise and controlled approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a reasonable distance from the runway's end.
