Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the proper flare height before you start rotating; let the runway come up to you rather than anticipating it.
What happened: The flare began early, well above the normal flare band, and touchdown followed at 700 m past the threshold, 243 m beyond the 457 m target. Starting the flare early like this usually carries the touchdown long.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, then touchdown distance against 457 m.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,321 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,321 m of the 3,353 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A330-900 departed from runway 06L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, applying a take-off roll of 1,947 m which represented 58 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 146 kt. Ambient conditions were 27 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 040°, a headwind component of 2 kt and no cross-wind.
Climbing commenced one mile north-east of CYUL, with the aircraft ascending from 1,251 ft asl to 2,706 ft asl - a gain of 1,454 ft - over a period of 1 minute while covering 3 nm.
The first cruise segment began one mile north-west of Mont-Royal and lasted 2 minutes, during which the flight covered 5 nm at level altitude.
Descent started two miles west of Laval, the aircraft descending from 2,544 ft asl to 1,910 ft asl - a loss of 634 ft - in 2 minutes and traversing 5 nm.
A second cruise phase was flown overhead of Dollard-Des Ormeaux, lasting 3 minutes and extending for 7 nm before the final approach began.
During the final approach to runway 06L, the aircraft descended from 1,003 ft agl to 195 ft agl in 72 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06L was executed with a runway length of 3,353 m; the threshold height at 60 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was 141 kt. Touchdown occurred 280 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 138 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 207 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. The same weather conditions as departure applied. Total landing distance was 2,235 m, representing 67 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good as the aircraft decelerated to a stop.
The aircraft taxied to parking in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the taxi-in.
Overall, the flight covered 26 nm, took 9 (units as given), and consumed 764 kg of fuel.
