Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 161 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 142 kt against a target of 161 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 161 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 131 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 141 kt, 10 kt above 131 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 131 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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 60 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 131 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,734 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,734 m of the 3,200 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 720 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 33, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,093-meter stretch of the runway, which comprised 34% of its total length. At a liftoff speed of 152 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 5-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,055 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 34,009 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady rate of ascent, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft initiated its descent, gradually decreasing its altitude from 33,457 feet to 4,001 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 63 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a short period before beginning its final descent, touching down on runway 25L at Brussels Airport.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 301 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 knots. The touchdown rate of -223 feet per minute was slightly above the target, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a total landing distance of 1,650 meters, which comprised 51% of the runway's length. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took 6 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 317 nautical miles, with a flight time of 65 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,855 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 25L at EBBR Brussels Airport was executed from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nm and 1,274 ft above ground level (agl). The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 61 ft agl, which was above the target. However, the threshold speed of 142 kt was significantly higher than the target, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll.
The aircraft touched down 301 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -223 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 340°, contributed to a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 1,650 m was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 93.8%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the threshold speed and touchdown rate, the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the landing.
