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 9.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

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 310 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 ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, taking approximately 9 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 01L, with a takeoff distance of 1,487 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots.
As the flight progressed, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 330 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was also 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Gardermoen, with the aircraft ascending from 1,692 feet above sea level to 33,878 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,186 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 14 miles southwest of Hovden, Norway, and lasted for 35 minutes, covering 235 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent another enroute climb, this time from 34,529 feet above sea level to 35,089 feet above sea level, an increase of 560 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 48 miles east of Peterhead, Scotland, and lasted for 7 minutes, covering 57 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the enroute descent started 2 miles east of Ellon, Scotland, with the aircraft descending from 34,801 feet above sea level to 6,815 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,985 feet in 14 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began again overhead Alva, Scotland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent resumed 1 mile north of Stenhousemuir, Scotland, with the aircraft descending from 6,635 feet above sea level to 1,397 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,237 feet in 9 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at EGPH Edinburgh Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 59.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 06, which had a length of 2,132 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 144 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 309 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy at -602 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7°C temperature and a wind speed of 24 knots at 80 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 22 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 558 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,615 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 06 at Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) with a score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south-west, heading 59.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on the designated runway.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with the threshold height being slightly above the target at 58 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 144 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 309 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 142 knots was a little fast, but not excessively so.
The touchdown rate was heavy at -602 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive descent. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 24 knots from 80°.
The crosswind component was relatively low at 9 knots, while the headwind component was 22 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the aircraft's stable and controlled descent. The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating a well-executed approach and landing.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
