Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 68 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
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,533 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,533 m of the 3,365 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 526 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at CYQT Thunder Bay Airport. This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft taking off after covering 77% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,694 meters, and the liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a tailwind of 16 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of CYQT Thunder Bay Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,647 feet above sea level to 37,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,363 feet in 19 minutes. The climb covered a distance of 112 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 45 miles north of Marquette, Michigan, and lasting 39 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 286 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 5 miles west of CYOQ Hay Island Airstrip Owen Sound, with the aircraft descending from 36,421 feet above sea level to 3,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,417 feet in 22 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 8 miles southeast of CYTZ Billy Bishop Toronto City Centre Airport Toronto, and lasting 7 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 2 miles southeast of New Toronto, with the aircraft descending from 3,010 feet above sea level to 1,973 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,037 feet in 2 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport took place from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 317.0° at an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 33R, which had a length of 3,365 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above the target and the threshold speed being good at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 2,452 meters, which was 73% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 534 nautical miles, and the flight used 3,596 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport on runway 33R, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 317.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,415 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 122 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate of -173 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled descent. However, the threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal approach path.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and winds of 2 knots at 180°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 2,452 meters was 73% of the available runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a relatively short landing distance. However, the slight deviations from the ideal approach path and touchdown zone may indicate areas for improvement in future landings.
