Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 33 kt fast at 212 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed is back to 130 kt before the gate, not after it.
What happened: Speed control was already loose at the stabilisation gate, and this flight crossed the threshold at 140 kt against a target of 130 kt, 10 kt fast. Carrying excess speed into the gate like this usually carries straight through to a fast threshold crossing.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 130 kt by the gate and held to 130 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: glideslope 4.2° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 22 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 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 3,171 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 280 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 John F Kennedy International Airport (KJFK) took approximately 10 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A340 then began its departure roll on runway 13R, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 173 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,082 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway, was achieved in optimal conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it passed overhead KJFK, then continued to Oradell, New Jersey, where it leveled off for a prolonged period of 484 minutes, covering a distance of 251 nautical miles. The climb phase was notable for its steep ascent, reaching an altitude of 17,170 feet in just 5 minutes, while the cruise phase was characterized by a relatively stable flight path. The descent phase, which began over Amherst, New York, and continued over Vineland, Ontario, involved a series of controlled descents, ultimately bringing the aircraft to its final approach altitude.
The final approach to runway 23 at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) was executed from the northeast, with a heading of 221.0°. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 137 knots, with a touchdown distance of 343 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,440 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway, was within the expected parameters. After taxiing to the parking area, the aircraft had completed a total flight distance of 369 nautical miles, using 10,585 kilograms of fuel in the process, and had taken a total of 78 minutes to complete the journey.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -310 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 137 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 343 m was satisfactory, considering the available runway length of 3,236 m. The threshold speed of 141 kt was also well-managed, demonstrating good control of the aircraft's approach.
The approach quality was good, with a heading of 221.0° from the north east at 4 nm and 1,769 ft agl. The aircraft maintained a steady course, despite the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 27 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the headwind component was 2 kt, providing a relatively stable environment for the approach. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 m from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.
The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 98.7%. The total landing distance of 1,440 m was 44% of the available runway length, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The good threshold height and threshold speed, combined with the firm touchdown rate and satisfactory touchdown distance, all contributed to a successful landing.
