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 9.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 148 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 425 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,352 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 402 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Milano Linate Airport, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,041 meters, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and winds of 3 knots at 203 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the Idroscalo Milan, where the aircraft climbed from 1,368 feet above sea level to 36,262 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,894 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile south east of Vorderthal, Switzerland, and lasted for 42 minutes, covering a distance of 285 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 1 mile west of Drensteinfurt, Germany, descending from 35,676 feet above sea level to 2,627 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,050 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 1 mile south of Lelystad, Netherlands, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol took place from the east, with the aircraft heading 267.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,264 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway after a distance of 401 meters. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -259 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 25.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 4°C temperature and winds of 13 knots at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total flight distance was 507 nautical miles, taking 106 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,827 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 122 knots. The touchdown distance of 401 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was slightly below the expected value, which may have been a result of the aircraft's deceleration during the final stages of the approach.
One area for improvement was the touchdown rate, which was fair at -259 feet per minute (fpm). A more controlled touchdown rate would have been desirable to minimize the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and to ensure a smoother ride for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 25 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. This misalignment could have been caused by a variety of factors, including wind shear, pilot error, or a combination of both.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which would have had a significant impact on the aircraft's approach and landing.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown rate and runway alignment.
