Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 134 m past the target, landing at 591 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 2,064 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,064 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 591 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-700 departed Pointe-à-Pitre Le Raizet International Airport (TFFR) on runway 12, using a takeoff roll of 1,056 m which represented 37 % of the runway length. Liftoff was achieved at 140 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 359°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
During climb the aircraft passed overhead Les Abymes, Guadeloupe, ascending from 1,031 ft asl to 40,003 ft asl - a gain of 38,972 ft - in 46 minutes while covering 336 nm.
The first cruise segment commenced at latitude 21.5371806, longitude -63.3560142 and continued for 185 minutes, during which 1,396 nm were flown.
The initial descent began over Deering, New Hampshire, with the aircraft descending from 39,491 ft asl to 2,999 ft asl - a loss of 36,492 ft - in 25 minutes and traversing 171 nm.
A brief cruise followed 1 mile south-east of CVP2 Île Sainte-Hélène Water Airport, Montréal, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.
The subsequent descent started 2 miles south-west of Montreal-Est, Quebec, dropping from 3,003 ft asl to 1,416 ft asl - a decrease of 1,586 ft - in 2 minutes over a distance of 7 nm.
On final approach to runway 24R at Montréal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL), the aircraft descended from 1,363 ft agl to 64 ft agl in 106 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 24R was performed with a threshold speed of 134 kt, slightly above target. Touchdown occurred 167 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 122 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 193 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 3.7 m from the centreline. Local weather was 9 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 170°, a 5 kt cross-wind and a 4 kt head-wind. The total landing distance was 1,974 m, representing 59 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, completing the landing phase without deviation.
The aircraft taxied to parking from the runway in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,924 nm, required 265 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10,805 kg of fuel.
