Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.
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 2,132 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 445 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 1,388 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and winds of 21 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 15 knots, while the headwind was also 15 knots. The enroute climb started over San Donato Milanese, Lombardia, Italy, where the aircraft ascended from 1,364 feet above sea level to 29,397 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,033 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile north-west of Saas-Fee, Canton du Valais, Switzerland, and lasted for 85 minutes, covering a distance of 634 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent over Kirkby Stephen, Cumbria, England, where it descended from 28,433 feet above sea level to 6,555 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,878 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile east of Peebles, The Scottish Borders, Scotland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent over Peebles, where it descended from 6,197 feet above sea level to 5,704 feet above sea level, a decrease of 493 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise continued over Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent over Carnwath, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, where it descended from 5,268 feet above sea level to 3,946 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,322 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed over Fauldhouse, West Lothian, Scotland, lasting for 31 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then started its enroute descent over Longridge, West Lothian, Scotland, where it descended from 3,751 feet above sea level to 1,790 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,961 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final enroute level cruise took place over Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland, lasting for 2 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, heading 59.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport, which had a length of 2,132 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 446 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -470 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and winds of 19 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots. The total landing distance was 1,232 meters
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) on runway 06, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 446 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and navigation skills from the pilot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a headwind of 19 knots, which had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance. The crosswind component was minimal, at 0 knots.
The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-ideal approach path. Nevertheless, the pilot successfully managed to bring the aircraft down to the runway, demonstrating adaptability and control.
The total landing distance of 1,232 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained perfect alignment with the runway, indicating precise control and navigation skills from the pilot. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
