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 6.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 312 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 437 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,766 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,766 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 611 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 22R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,505-meter runway, which was utilized at 50% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, overcoming the local wind conditions of 11 knots at 180 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of Dragor, Denmark, at an altitude of 1,030 feet above sea level. Over the course of 16 minutes, the aircraft ascended to 33,410 feet, a vertical increase of 32,380 feet, while covering a distance of 100 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 21 minutes and covered 151 nautical miles, starting 5 miles north of Kronsgaard, Germany. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Hoogezand, Netherlands, descending from 33,439 feet to 1,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,152 feet, in 22 minutes and covering 122 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, it initiated its final approach to runway 06 from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the 3,191-meter runway, with a touchdown point 195 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 129 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -355 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,686 meters, utilizing 53% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 382 nautical miles, with a flight time of 68 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 2,871 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 58.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down 195 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 129 knots, which was also within the acceptable limits.
The touchdown characteristics were firm, with a rate of -355 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 9 knots at 40°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,686 meters, which was 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 94.8%. The combination of good approach quality, controlled touchdown characteristics, and precise rollout alignment all contributed to a successful landing.
