Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 8.2 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 5° of bank in the first climb segment and 2.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 8.7 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 8.7 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 8.7 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,037 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,037 m of the 2,803 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 786 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 30 at Edmonton International Airport (CYEG), with a takeoff distance of 1,811 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 169 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 6°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 259 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. After departing from CYEG, the enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 3,291 feet above sea level to 33,804 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,513 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 15 miles north of Lake Louise Airport (CYLE), and lasted for 34 minutes, covering a distance of 232 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 6 miles south of Merritt, British Columbia, descending from 33,973 feet above sea level to 1,313 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,661 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 100.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 08L, which had a length of 2,803 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above the target, and the threshold speed being good at 141 knots.
However, the touchdown point was 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 138 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was good at -151 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 11°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 80 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 8 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,925 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 448 nautical miles, taking 94 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,507 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Vancouver International Airport (CYVR) on runway 08L. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.
However, there were a few areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold height at 69 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was a little fast, which could have put additional stress on the landing gear and potentially affected the overall safety of the landing.
The touchdown point was 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant deviation. This could be attributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 5.3 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a headwind of 8 knots, may have also played a role in the deviation.
The total landing distance of 1,925 meters was 69% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have required additional correction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 84.7%. While there were some areas for improvement, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilots were able to maintain control throughout the landing.
