Slow down before tight turns
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Airbus A319 began with a 6-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFBZ Bayonne-Anglet. The departure roll on runway 27 covered a distance of 1,000 meters, which was 49% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed during takeoff was 143 knots.
The local weather at the time of departure was 23°C with a wind speed of 15 knots coming from 290°. There was a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 14 knots during takeoff. The flight then commenced the enroute climb over Biarritz, ascending from 1,219 feet above sea level to 33,942 feet, a total increase of 32,723 feet over a 17-minute period covering 95 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase lasting 83 minutes and covering 163 nautical miles. The enroute descent began over Laussonne, descending from 34,473 feet to 25,560 feet over a 7-minute period covering 43 nautical miles. Another brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 30 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The second descent phase commenced over Jarcieu, descending from 25,560 feet to 8,454 feet over 20 minutes and covering 67 nautical miles. After this descent, the aircraft entered another brief level cruise phase lasting 7 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The final descent began over Valleiry, descending from 7,979 feet to 3,164 feet over 8 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 04 at LSGG Geneva, with the aircraft touching down 188 meters from the threshold at a speed of 124 knots. The touchdown was smooth with a vertical speed indicator reading of -320 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which was 33% of the runway length.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 382 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 195 minutes. The Airbus A319 used 3,596 kilograms of fuel for this flight.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.0%! This performance reflects a high level of skill and precision in executing each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, it is commendable that the glideslope alignment was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. Additionally, maintaining a slightly below target speed demonstrates a good understanding of aircraft handling and control, ensuring a safe approach to the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, the report highlights the good threshold height and very good landing flare. These factors are crucial in ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown, indicating a high level of proficiency in judging the aircraft's position relative to the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is noted that the touchdown rate was hard, but the speed was on target. While a hard touchdown is not ideal, the fact that the speed was within the target range shows an ability to manage the aircraft's descent effectively. Furthermore, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being very good signify a high level of accuracy in landing the aircraft precisely where intended.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, the report mentions that the runway alignment was very good. Maintaining proper alignment during the rollout after touchdown is essential for safe taxiing and exiting the runway, and achieving a very good rating in this aspect reflects a strong understanding of aircraft handling and control.
Overall, this detailed analysis of your aircraft landing performance highlights your strengths in each phase of the landing process. It is evident that you possess the skills and proficiency needed to execute a safe and precise landing. Keep up the excellent work, and continue to strive for perfection in your future landings. Your dedication to mastering the art of aircraft handling is truly commendable. Well done!
