Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 152 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 169 kt against a rotation target of 152 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 152 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 302 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.3 ft.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,580 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,346 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Cologne Bonn Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 31R, taking off with a distance of 6,590 feet, which equated to 53% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 169 knots, with a local temperature of 77°F and a wind of 7 knots at 299°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Cologne, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 36,843 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The climb was initiated 1 mile east of Eil, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany, and continued until the aircraft reached the enroute level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Butthard, Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 79 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 646 nautical miles. The descent phase began 13 miles west of Kavaje, Tirana, Albania, and continued until the aircraft reached the final approach phase at Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport.
The final approach to runway 34 at Corfu was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,407 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 1,356 feet, which was 48% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired, at 128 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 3,654 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 913 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,735 pounds of fuel.
The final approach to runway 34 at LGKR Corfu Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 347.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,407 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 128 knots, which was slightly above the ideal touchdown speed, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -326 feet per minute.
The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,356 feet, which was within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 0 knots from 360°, resulting in a zero crosswind and headwind component. The total landing distance of 3,654 feet was 48% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 98.9%. The only area for improvement was the slightly fast touchdown speed, which resulted in a firm touchdown rate. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the pilot's skills and judgment were demonstrated to be of a high standard.
