Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 33 kt fast at 203 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
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 223 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,798 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,798 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 24 at LFPO, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,684 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 163 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 29 °C, wind 4 kt from 210°, with a 2 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Chilly-Mazarin (Ile-de-France, France), with the flight ascending from 1,274 ft asl to 37,010 ft asl, an increase of 35,737 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 163 nm.
The level cruise segment began over Senonnes (Pays de la Loire, France) and continued for 81 minutes, during which 603 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated 4 miles south-east of Amiaes de Baixo (Distrito de Santarem, Portugal), descending from 36,305 ft asl to 1,645 ft asl, a loss of 34,660 ft in 19 minutes and spanning 93 nm.
Final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) was conducted from the south, on a heading of 23.0°, at 4 nm and 1,290 ft agl.
Landing on runway 02 at LPPT, whose length is 3,716 m, was performed with a threshold speed of 138 kt. The touchdown point lay 66 m beyond the touchdown zone, the speed at touchdown was 132 kt, and the vertical speed was minus 80 fpm. The aircraft touched down 3.4 m off the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 28 °C, wind 3 kt from 276°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,723 m, equal to 46 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 868 nm, taking 133, and consumed 5,522 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 established the final approach to runway 02 at LPPT from the south, tracking a heading of 23.0° at 4 nm and 1,290 ft AGL. Local weather was 28 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 276°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
The threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt as the aircraft entered the flare.
Touchdown occurred 66 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 132 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was excellent at minus 80 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,723 m, representing 46 % of the 3,716 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
For future landings, aim to achieve touchdown within the designated zone to avoid the 66 m overshoot and reduce the touchdown speed slightly below 132 kt to match the good threshold speed. Maintaining these adjustments will keep the performance at the high level reflected by the 100 % score.
