Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 139 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 122 kt, 17 kt before the 139 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.4 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.5°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 303 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 0.4 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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 362 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo departed EGGD Bristol Airport on runway 27, applying a departure roll that required 1,277 m, representing 68 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 122 kt. Local conditions were a temperature of 12 °C, wind 14 kt from 320 °, with a cross-wind component of 11 kt and a head-wind component of 8 kt.
Climb commenced one mile north of Wrington, North Somerset, with the aircraft accelerating from 1,474 ft asl to 2,622 ft asl, an increase of 1,148 ft in less than one minute while covering one nautical mile.
The first cruise segment began overhead Congresbury, North Somerset, and was maintained for five minutes, during which the aircraft covered fifteen nautical miles.
Descent started one mile south-west of Pensford, Bath and North East Somerset, descending from 3,000 ft asl to 2,520 ft asl, a loss of 480 ft over two minutes and a distance of five nautical miles.
A second cruise phase was initiated one mile north-west of Wellow, Bath and North East Somerset, lasting six minutes and encompassing sixteen nautical miles.
During final approach to runway 27 at EGGD, the aircraft descended from 1,385 ft agl to 33 ft agl in 113 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 27 was performed with a runway length of 1,882 m; the threshold speed was noted as good at 130 kt. Touchdown occurred 361 m down the runway at a speed of 127 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 304 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Ambient weather at the time was a temperature of 9 °C, wind 13 kt from 309 °, cross-wind 9 kt and head-wind 9 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,249 m, equivalent to 66 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.
In total, the flight covered 44 nm, taking 16, and consumed 12 kg of fuel.
