Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 27 kt fast at 188 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 71 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 139 kt with 12.7° of pitch. Climb 3 averaged 188 kt, 27 kt over its 161 kt target.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 900 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 607 m of runway left; gear up at 35 ft, inside the 400 ft that gets full marks; then climbing at 3,200 fpm on average to 900 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The gear-up ring is coloured by its mark. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,344 m runway.
Rolled from 1,334 m in, drifted 3.2 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 82 % of the way down the runway, past the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.1 to 0.3 nm, then not again: left of the centreline from 0.3 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 3.2 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 50 ft below the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.
Joined 790 m left of the centreline at 3.2 nm, then inside it from 2.1 to 0.3 nm, then 13 m left of it from 0.3 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 29 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +11 kt on the approach speed of 116 kt.
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
The flare tracked the target profile closely. The flare was flown from 71 ft agl over the threshold, well above the target height, so the aircraft was above the profile for most of the landing. Touchdown was 413 m past the threshold. The flare cannot recover height that was never lost - fly the approach down to the aim point and the flare has somewhere to start from.
Little crosswind (2 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.
Wind 170° at 4 kt · 2 kt head · 2 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 110 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 25 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 71 ft, 21 ft above the 50 ft target; began the flare at 22 ft. Touched down 413 m in, 109 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 600 fpm at the flare to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.5° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 4.7 m left of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 5.5 m left at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 413 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 departed from runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport. Takeoff used 1,956 m of runway (58 % of runway) and liftoff occurred at 140 kt. Local weather was temperature 2 °C, wind 4 kt from 170°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and 2 kt head-wind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 13 seconds, averaging 3,216 fpm and reaching 191 kt at the top. The aircraft then performed a series of three short climbs, descents and level legs between 1,000 ft asl and 3,600 ft asl over 4 minutes, covering 11 nm from overhead Dorval to overhead CSP6 Montreal / Aéroparc Île Perrot Montréal. Level flight continued at 1,700 ft asl for 6 minutes, covering 17 nm, beginning 2 miles east of CSP6 Montreal / Aéroparc Île Perrot Montréal.
During the first final approach to runway 24R at CYUL, descent was from 1,236 ft agl to 83 ft agl in 124 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. Configuration on final was flap 5 at 998 ft agl and 125 kt.
A go-around was initiated at 0 ft agl on runway 24R, followed by a second go-around at 348 ft agl on the same runway.
On the subsequent final approach to runway 24R, descent was from 970 ft agl to 29 ft agl in 98 seconds. Stabilisation at 500 ft above the runway was met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, on glideslope, on centreline, on speed, wings level. Configuration remained flap 5 at 998 ft agl and 125 kt.
Landing occurred on runway 24R (runway length 3,344 m). Threshold height at 71 ft agl was well above target; threshold speed was good at 118 kt. The flare was described as excellent, with the aircraft crossing the threshold high. Touchdown distance was good at 413 m, touchdown speed was 115 kt (a little fast), and touchdown rate was fair at minus 218 fpm. Runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 1 °C, wind 4 kt from 170°, with a 3 kt cross-wind and 2 kt head-wind. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,344 m (40 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
Taxiing from the runway to parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 79 nm, duration 30 minutes, and fuel used was 1,113 kg.
