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 7.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 561 m past the threshold, 104 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.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: glideslope 4.5° against the runway's 3° and centreline 2.8° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.3° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,801 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 561 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 08 at EGJJ Jersey Airport in 13 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 08, the aircraft used 1,072 m of runway, representing 65 % of the available length, and achieved liftoff at 143 kt. Local weather at the time was temperature 18 °C, wind 4 kt at 41 °, with a 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of EGJJ Jersey Airport (Saint Helier, Saint Peter, Jersey), with the aircraft ascending from 1,144 ft asl to 34,000 ft asl, an increase of 32,856 ft in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.
The level cruise began 1 mile north-east of South Hayling (Hampshire, England) and lasted 25 minutes, during which 205 nm were flown.
Descent started 1 mile south-west of Anderlecht (Bruxelles-Capitale, Belgium), with a reduction from 34,004 ft asl to 1,989 ft asl, a decrease of 32,016 ft in 21 minutes, covering 121 nm.
On final approach to runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, the aircraft descended from 1,810 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 106 seconds and was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport, whose length is 3,801 m, featured a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 166 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 122 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 81 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Local weather reported temperature 12 °C, wind 3 kt at 66 °, a 3 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,132 m, representing 30 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft completed the rollout within the calculated landing distance.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 451 nm, took 76, and consumed 2,602 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320neo approached runway 13L at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport with an unstable assessment at the 1,000 ft gate, being off the glideslope and off the centreline. The final descent proceeded from 1,810 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 106 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 132 kt. The flare was executed after the threshold height was established.
Touchdown occurred 166 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 122 kt, described as good. The touchdown rate was excellent at minus 81 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,132 m, representing 30 % of the 3,801 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
Focus on achieving a stabilized approach by the 1,000 ft gate to keep the aircraft on glideslope and centreline, which will eliminate the noted instability and further improve the already high score of 93.9 %.
