Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 684 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 357 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,171 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
Departing from Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport (CYUL), the Airbus A330-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 06L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C, a wind speed of 6 kt at 280 °, and a crosswind of 5 kt and a tailwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft departed, it accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 158 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,351 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The initial climb phase began 1 mile northeast of CYUL, where the aircraft ascended from 1,087 feet above sea level to 18,309 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,222 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles, before initiating another climb phase 1 mile southeast of Rigaud. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 19,078 feet to 33,998 feet, an increase of 14,920 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 71 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it transitioned into another level cruise phase, which lasted for 10 minutes and covered 77 nautical miles, before beginning its descent phase 4 miles northwest of Madoc. The descent phase saw the aircraft descend from 33,996 feet to 1,850 feet, a decrease of 32,147 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then lined up for a final approach to runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), touching down 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 135 kt. The total landing distance was 1,413 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. After a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 306 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 6,358 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 69 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, having approached from the north east at a heading of 227.0°. The final approach was conducted at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the threshold, with an altitude of 1,294 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 68 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed of 140 knots was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power during the approach.
The touchdown point was located 249 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 135 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -273 feet per minute was fair, indicating a relatively smooth touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind of 7 knots at 240°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,413 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 91.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot's performance was generally good, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway.
