Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 38 kt fast at 199 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
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 8.7 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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 1,755 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,755 m of the 3,049 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 470 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at London Heathrow Airport took 31 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 27L, utilizing 27% of the 2,796-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance of 911 meters. Liftoff speed was reached at 158 knots, with a headwind component of 17 knots and a crosswind of 6 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 250°.
Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,106 feet above sea level to 37,202 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The climb phase was completed overhead London Heathrow Airport. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 37,202 feet for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. The cruise phase was interrupted by a descent phase, initiated 13 miles north-west of Saint Davids, Wales, during which the aircraft descended from 36,785 feet to 2,670 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a second level cruise phase, lasting 19 minutes and covering 19 nautical miles, before commencing a final descent phase from 2,849 feet to 1,311 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Shannon Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 232.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,272 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the 3,048-meter runway, with the threshold height above target and the threshold speed within acceptable limits. The touchdown point was 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots and a touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.4 meters. The total landing distance was 1,673 meters, representing 55% of the runway length. Following landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 339 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 93 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,134 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 24 at EINN Shannon Airport was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 60 feet above ground level being above the target. However, the threshold speed was good, achieved at 113 knots.
The Airbus A319 touched down 53 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute was also good, indicating a controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centreline, the rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 7°C and a headwind of 10 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,673 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing performance of the Airbus A319 was satisfactory, with a score of 97.2%. The good threshold speed, controlled touchdown, and excellent rollout alignment contributed to this high score, despite the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.
