Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 175 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 136 kt against a target of 175 kt, running 39 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 175 kt.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 6.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.5 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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 1,575 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,575 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 560 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ), the Airbus A350-900 began its journey on runway 06L, utilizing 46% of the 1,306-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 151 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16°C, with a 20-knot wind blowing from 349°, resulting in a 17-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it transitioned through several phases of flight. The first enroute climb phase began approximately 1 mile north of Eringate-Centennial-West Deane, Ontario, and reached a maximum altitude of 39,003 feet above sea level (asl) after an 18-minute climb, covering a distance of 308 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 22 minutes and covering 816 nautical miles, before initiating a second climb phase 64 miles east of St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador. This climb phase reached a maximum altitude of 40,003 feet asl after a 2-minute climb, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with the final level cruise phase lasting 40 minutes and covering 1,386 nautical miles.
As the Airbus A350-900 began its descent into Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG), it transitioned through several phases of descent, ultimately landing on runway 26L after a total flight distance of 3,326 nautical miles. The landing distance of 1,510 meters, or 56% of the 2,694-meter runway, was slightly above the target. The touchdown point was 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing the flight in 143 minutes and utilizing 37,556 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport was conducted from the east, aligning with the heading of 265.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a slight deviation from the target threshold height of 57 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also slightly above the target, indicating a moderate level of energy at touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down 159 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 136 knots was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 270°, contributed to a calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,510 meters, accounting for 56% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the post-touchdown phase. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.8%, reflecting a satisfactory outcome despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.
