Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 567 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
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 207 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 231 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,694 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,694 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 25R at Brussels Airport, a movement that lasted 4 minutes and covered 1 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 25R with a take-off distance of 2,100 m, representing 63 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 153 kt. The local weather at departure was 14 °C with wind 9 kt from 330°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 9 kt crosswind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1,972 fpm and reaching 141 kt at the top of the segment. The subsequent climb from 1,174 ft asl to 36,518 ft asl lasted 16 minutes, covering 100 nm and beginning overhead Diegem.
Cruise was maintained at 37,100 ft asl for 74 minutes, covering 535 nm, with the flight beginning the segment overhead Nampcel.
Descent began from 36,883 ft asl and proceeded to 3,180 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 110 nm, starting 7 miles south of Los Rabanos.
Final approach to runway 32R at Madrid-Barajas Airport descended from 1,271 ft agl to -16 ft agl in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were all met: gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed, and wings level. Configuration on final was gear down at 2,109 ft agl at 182 kt and final flap position 5 at 2,216 ft agl at 181 kt.
Landing on runway 32R was recorded with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 kt. The flare was described as excellent. Touchdown occurred 455 m down the runway at 126 kt, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 232 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned, 3.6 m off the centreline, but there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,617 m, 54 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good. Local weather at landing was 22 °C with wind 9 kt from 079°, giving an 8 kt crosswind and a 4 kt tailwind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 754 nm in 116 minutes and used 4,208 kg of fuel.
