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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop increasing back pressure once the sink is arrested near 11 ft, holding pitch instead of continuing to rotate.
What happened: You kept adding back pressure through the flare, raising the nose 3.5° and carrying pitch well above this type's normal touchdown attitude - tail strike territory.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal ground attitude at touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,709 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used 725 m of runway, representing 31 % of the available length, and lifted off at 140 kt. Local conditions were 17 °C temperature, wind 16 kt from 260°, with a 6 kt cross-wind component and a 15 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced overhead Ratho Station, rising from 511 ft asl to 36 704 ft asl, an altitude gain of 36 193 ft achieved in 17 minutes while traversing 102 nm.
Level cruise began over Kintore in Aberdeenshire and continued for 27 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 224 nm.
Descent was initiated 64 miles west of Langevåg, Vestland, Norway, descending from 37 026 ft asl to 1 489 ft asl, a loss of 35 537 ft in 16 minutes and spanning 86 nm.
The final approach to runway 17 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland, was flown from the north on a heading of 170.0°, entering the approach at 4 nm and 1 326 ft agl. The aircraft then descended from 1 381 ft agl to 82 ft agl in 124 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 124 kt. Touchdown occurred 412 m down the runway at 120 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 436 fpm. The runway length is 2 709 m; the aircraft’s alignment on touchdown was very good.
Rollout distance totaled 1 180 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 422 nm, taking 69 minutes and consuming 2 751 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo approached runway 17 at ENBR Bergen from the north on a heading of 170.0° at 4 nm and 1,326 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. Descent continued from 1,381 ft agl to 82 ft agl in 124 seconds.
At threshold the speed was slightly above target at 124 kt and the threshold height was good, indicating an appropriate flare initiation.
Touchdown occurred 412 m down the runway at a speed of 120 kt, which was a little fast, and the vertical rate was hard at minus 436 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was very good.
The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,180 m, representing 44 % of the 2,709 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce touchdown speed to the target value and refine flare timing to achieve a softer vertical rate; these adjustments will improve the landing score while preserving the already strong alignment performance.
