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 5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,110 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 114 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 1,660 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 179°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Chilly-Mazarin in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 165 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,267 feet above sea level to 37,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,735 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile northwest of Bellerive-sur-Allier in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase lasted for 23 minutes and covered a distance of 197 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 3 miles west of Saint-Auban in the Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur region of France. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,008 feet above sea level to 1,282 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,727 feet.
The final approach to runway 18 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport was made from the north, with a heading of 183.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,135 feet above ground level at this point. The landing was made on runway 18, which has a length of 2,110 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 113 meters, and the touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -680 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 159°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 646 meters, which is 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 499 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 3,354 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, with a final approach from the north at a heading of 183.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,135 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 113 meters was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent. However, the touchdown rate of -680 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher than ideal rate of descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 7.8 meters. This may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 159°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were likely favorable for the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance of 646 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently, with a very good runway rollout alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment in executing the approach and landing.
