Flight Score
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.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,594 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 248 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EKCH Copenhagen Kastrup Airport. This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 43% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,292 meters, and the liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb began 2 miles south of Tarnby, Denmark, and saw the aircraft ascend from 1,025 feet above sea level to 35,393 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,368 feet in 17 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 7 miles west of Bua, Sweden, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 57 nautical miles. The enroute descent then started 1 mile west of Henan, Sweden, and saw the aircraft descend from 35,301 feet above sea level to 8,467 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,834 feet in 18 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 2 miles northwest of Kongsvinger, Norway, which lasted for 6 minutes and covered 25 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles south of Valer, Norway, and saw the aircraft descend from 8,125 feet above sea level to 1,963 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,162 feet in 9 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 29 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, coming in from the north at a heading of 196.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,283 feet above ground level when it started its descent.
The landing took place on runway 19R, which had a length of 3,594 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 247 meters, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -659 feet per minute.
The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect after the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 200 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 18 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 338 nautical miles, and the flight took 71 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,670 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 196.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 19R, which has a length of 3,594 meters.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 132 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 247 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -659 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, which may indicate that the aircraft was touching down with a higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which would have helped to slow the aircraft down during the approach.
The total landing distance of 811 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and align with the centerline of the runway as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 95.3% indicating a high level of proficiency and control.
