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 21 ft 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.
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 5,697 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,697 ft of the 9,400 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 906 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at LXGB Gibraltar Airport in 9 minutes, covering approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the aircraft accelerated to a rotation speed of 134 kt and lifted off after a take-off distance of 3,694 ft, representing 69 % of the runway; ambient temperature was 76 °F with a wind of 5 kt from 070°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 5 kt headwind.
Climb commenced 1 mile southeast of La Linea de la Concepción, with the airplane ascending from 969 ft asl to 30,009 ft asl-a gain of 29,040 ft-over 18 minutes while covering 116 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 miles north of Castillo de Locubín and continued for 127 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 901 nm at level altitude.
Descent phase one started 1 mile southwest of Newtown, Sir Powys, Wales, with a reduction from 29,993 ft asl to 7,005 ft asl, a loss of 22,988 ft in 10 minutes while traversing 56 nm.
A brief cruise over Wallasey in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral lasted 3 minutes and covered 14 nm at level flight.
The second descent segment began 2 miles north of Billinge, St Helens, England, descending from 7,009 ft asl to 1,580 ft asl-a decrease of 5,428 ft-in 8 minutes and covering 30 nm.
Final approach to runway 23R at EGCC Manchester Airport involved a descent from 1,424 ft agl to 86 ft agl in 108 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 23R was executed with a threshold speed of 138 kt; touchdown occurred 905 ft down the runway at 132 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 295 fpm, and the alignment at touchdown was recorded as very good; local conditions were 54 °F, wind 8 kt from 270°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
The rollout after touchdown was aligned perfectly, and the total landing distance measured 5,434 ft, representing 58 % of the available runway length.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 1,126 nm, lasted 178 minutes, and consumed 17,667 lb of fuel.
