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 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on approach to bring threshold speed back to 120 kt.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 132 kt, 12 kt above the 120 kt target, then ballooned in the flare as the excess speed met the flare's back pressure. Crossing fast and ballooning like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: gear still up and speed 67 kt FAST on the reference speed of 120 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 49 kt FAST on the reference speed of 120 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 609 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EGGD Bristol Airport in a period of 10 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the A320 accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,104 m, representing 59 % of the runway, and lifted off at 153 kt; ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a headwind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.
The initial climb commenced 1 mile south-east of Brockley, North Somerset, climbing from 459 m asl to 5,794 m asl, an altitude gain of 5,335.0 m achieved in 8 minutes while covering 42 nm.
A short level segment followed overhead Westerleigh, South Gloucestershire, lasting 2 minutes and extending 9 nm.
A second climb began 1 mile north-west of Kington Langley, Wiltshire, rising from 5,828 m asl to 8,842 m asl, an increase of 3,013.8 m in 6 minutes and traversing 44 nm.
The aircraft then cruised level over Reading for 17 minutes, a segment of 112 nm.
Descent phase one started 13 miles south-east of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, descending from 8,838 m asl to 3,063 m asl, a loss of 5,774.7 m in 11 minutes while covering 68 nm.
A brief cruise followed 33 miles north-west of Scheveningen, Province Zuid-Holland, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 7 nm.
Descent phase two commenced 27 miles west of Zandvoort, Province Noord-Holland, dropping from 2,992 m asl to 613 m asl, a decrease of 2,379.1 m in 6 minutes over 27 nm.
The final cruise segment occurred 4 miles north-west of Katwijk aan Zee, Province Zuid-Holland, lasting 4 minutes and covering 14 nm.
On final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the aircraft approached from the south-west on a heading of 58.0°, at 4 nm and 418.1 m agl.
Landing on runway 06, which is 3,193 m long, the aircraft recorded a threshold speed of 132 kt, touched down 190 m beyond the touchdown zone at 115 kt, and experienced a firm touchdown rate of minus 2.0 m/s; runway alignment was very good and local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
The total landing roll measured 1,146 m, equivalent to 36 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 12 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 332 nm, required 76 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 2,431 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 executed the final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from the south-west, tracking a heading of 58.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,284 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 138 kt. The flare was performed with the aircraft configured for landing and the parameters remained within the expected envelope.
Touchdown occurred 394 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 134 kt that was a little fast and a firm touchdown rate of minus 317 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,582 m, representing 50 % of the 3,193 m runway, and the rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.2 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 92.7 % the landing was solid; refining rollout alignment to reduce the 16.2 m offset and moderating the touchdown speed slightly will tighten performance margins and further improve consistency.
