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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply less back pressure in the flare, easing it in more slowly instead of arresting the sink sharply at 52 ft.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 52 ft, ballooning the aircraft before 548 fpm of sink rate returned as it settled back toward the runway.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: hold a steady, continuous descent through the normal flare band.
See Arrival Landing
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 772 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Girona-Costa Brava Airport. This process took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 01, with the aircraft taking off after covering 70% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,571 meters, and the liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Aiguaviva in Catalonia, Spain. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,535 feet above sea level to 37,832 feet, an increase of 36,297 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 90 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead the town of Le Vernet in Occitanie, France. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 271 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead the town of Pont-Saint-Martin in Pays de la Loire, France. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,081 feet to 1,567 feet, a decrease of 36,514 feet, in 26 minutes and covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at Jersey Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 83.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08, which had a length of 1,550 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 127 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -264 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, which was 78% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 497 nautical miles and took 91 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,112 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 83.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 1,550 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots. This may indicate a slight delay in the aircraft's descent or a slight increase in airspeed during the final approach. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, which may be a concern for safety and efficiency. The touchdown speed of 127 knots was also a little fast, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.
The touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and wind speeds of 17 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed and the long touchdown point.
The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, which is 78% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, including reducing the threshold speed and touchdown speed, and improving the alignment of the aircraft during the final approach.
