Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 33 kt fast at 194 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 63 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,609 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 484 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied to runway 25 at London Luton Airport (EGGW) and commenced the departure roll, using 953 m of runway which represented 46 % of the available length. Liftoff was achieved at 147 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 21 kt from 199°, producing a 17 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
Climb began overhead Luton, with the aircraft ascending from 1,322 ft asl to 28,593 ft asl, a gain of 27,271 ft achieved in 10 minutes while covering 56 nm.
Cruise level was established approximately 5 nm south-west of Jobourg, Normandy, and was maintained for 10 minutes during which 28 nm were flown.
Descent was initiated over Popham Airfield (EGHP) in Basingstoke, decreasing altitude from 28,593 ft asl to 2,039 ft asl, a loss of 26,554 ft in 21 minutes and traversing 102 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 at Jersey Airport (EGJJ) was flown from the east on a heading of 263.0° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft agl.
Landing on runway 26 was executed with a threshold height of 63 ft agl, a threshold speed of 130 kt, and a touchdown point 66 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was recorded at 126 kt with a vertical speed of minus 190 fpm; alignment was very good. The runway length is 1,609 m and the aircraft used 1,003 m for the landing, representing 62 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 21 °C with a wind of 10 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment and the aircraft decelerated within the remaining runway distance.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 192 nm, lasted 46 minutes, and consumed 1,770 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 conducted the final approach to runway 26 at EGJJ Jersey Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 263.0° at 4 NM and 1,267 ft agl. Local weather was 21 °C with a wind from 270° at 10 kt, including a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height was recorded at 63 ft agl, which was above target, while the threshold speed was good at 130 kt.
Touchdown occurred 66 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the touchdown speed was 126 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was good at minus 190 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,003 m, representing 62 % of the 1,609 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To tighten the remaining margin, adjust the flare to achieve the target threshold height and reduce the touchdown speed toward the intended VREF. Aim to place the main gear within the touchdown zone to maintain optimal runway usage.
