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 6.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 120 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
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.

Side view — the last 1,665 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,665 m of the 3,365 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 453 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 24 at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,702 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and winds of 9 knots at 60°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind was 9 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, where the aircraft ascended from 1,107 feet above sea level to 38,007 feet, an increase of 36,900 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles northwest of Sainte-Beatrix, Quebec. This phase lasted for 38 minutes and covered a distance of 217 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 9 miles northeast of CLH5 Bobcaygeon / Chesher Lakehurst Airport Buckhorn, Ontario. The descent from 38,026 feet to 8,389 feet took 14 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Richmond Hill, Ontario, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The descent from 8,005 feet to 3,270 feet took 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Moss Park, Ontario, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was from the southeast, with a heading of 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,366 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to execute a go-around at 318 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 33R, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was slightly fast, while the touchdown rate was very hard at -576 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 12°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 190°. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the tailwind was 8 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,585 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 424 nautical miles, which was covered in 113 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,108 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the south east, heading 317.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,366 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 84.2%.
The threshold height at 120 feet agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft descended more slowly than expected. However, the threshold speed was good at 129 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach. The touchdown distance was also good at 456 meters, but the touchdown speed at 125 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate.
The touchdown rate was very hard at -576 feet per minute (fpm), which is a concern as it may have put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for passengers. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and winds of 14 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,585 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment during touchdown.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate, as well as alignment during the approach and rollout.
