MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 355 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,213 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 532 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 24R, utilizing 59% of the 1,679-meter runway to achieve a takeoff distance. Liftoff speed was reached at 154 knots, with a local temperature of 21°C and wind conditions of 6 knots at 70°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 5-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,547 feet above sea level to 37,848 feet, it covered a distance of 88 nautical miles in 16 minutes, increasing its altitude by 36,301 feet. The enroute climb phase concluded 1 mile south of the departure airport. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 53 minutes and covering 316 nautical miles, before commencing a descent from 36,628 feet to 4,050 feet in 21 minutes and 103 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase near Martin's Landing Thunder Bay, the aircraft began its final descent, reducing its altitude from 3,625 feet to 1,935 feet in 3 minutes and 8 nautical miles.
The Airbus A319 then initiated its final approach to runway 07 at Thunder Bay Airport from the southwest, maintaining a heading of 70.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,277 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 2,212-meter runway, with a touchdown point 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 119 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,403 meters, accounting for 63% of the runway length. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 529 nautical miles, with a flight time of 113 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,646 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, successfully executed a final approach to runway 07 at CYQT Thunder Bay Airport from the south west, aligning with the runway heading of 70.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,277 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 126 knots, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down 101 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 119 knots, which was also within the desired parameters.
The touchdown characteristics were smooth, with a rate of descent of -134 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled and stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind of 5 knots at 60°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 5 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,403 meters was 63% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.1%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
