Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 101 m past the target, landing at 558 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,330 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 558 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Take-off was on runway 26L. The aircraft used 1,349 m of runway (47 % of runway) and rotated at 143 kt. Local weather was 14 °C with wind 13 kt from 249°, giving a 2 kt crosswind and a 13 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,959 fpm and reaching 179 kt at the top.
The climb continued from 1,202 ft asl to 34,999 ft asl in 17 minutes, covering 100 nm, starting overhead Charlwood.
Level flight was held at 35,000 ft asl for 65 minutes, covering 482 nm, beginning 25 mi south-east of Easton.
Descent from 34,995 ft asl to 1,315 ft asl lasted 28 minutes, covering 144 nm, beginning 4 mi west of Castroverde, with brief level-offs at 6,000 ft asl and 3,000 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport began with a descent from 1,201 ft agl to 102 ft agl in 118 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 2,462 ft agl at 152 kt and final flap position 5 at 2,222 ft agl at 153 kt.
Landing on runway 35 (runway length 3,330 m) had a good threshold height. Threshold speed was 133 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 140 m beyond the touchdown zone at 132 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 66 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. No bounce occurred.
Total landing distance was 1,153 m (35 % of runway) and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 9 kt from 330°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 735 nm in 121 minutes and used 4,060 kg of fuel.
