Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 286 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,880 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,880 m of the 3,501 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 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 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport, taking 12 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 79°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Vernier, Switzerland, and began its ascent from 2,444 feet above sea level to 32,607 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,163 feet in just 15 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Saint-Nizier-de-Fornas, France, and lasting 5 minutes, during which it covered 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles west of Pinols, France, and descending from 32,619 feet above sea level to 14,962 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,656 feet in 13 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting overhead Laramiere, France, and lasting 2 minutes, during which it covered 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, starting 1 mile north west of LFYU Caylus Airport, France, and descending from 14,366 feet above sea level to 3,807 feet above sea level, a decrease of 10,559 feet in 10 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 48 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile north east of Noueilles, France, and lasting 5 minutes, during which it covered 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Vigoulet, France, and descending from 2,914 feet above sea level to 1,783 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,132 feet in just 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, flying from the south east and heading 323.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 32L, which was 3,501 meters long, with a threshold height of 68 feet above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -406 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,795 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 9 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 285 nautical miles, and the flight took 70 minutes. The aircraft used 2,520 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 32L at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO) with a score of 90.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 323.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with a good threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 79 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the recommended speed, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown.
The aircraft's touchdown rate was particularly hard, with a descent rate of -406 feet per minute (fpm). This is a concern, as a hard touchdown can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially lead to damage. On the other hand, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 30°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,795 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and handling of the aircraft, and the score of 90.4% reflects a high level of proficiency. However, the hard touchdown and slightly fast touchdown speed are areas that require attention and improvement to achieve a higher score.
