Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 155 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 172 kt against a rotation target of 155 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 155 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Steepen your descent on final to regain the glideslope, aiming to cross the threshold at 50 ft agl.
What happened: You were high on the glideslope during the approach; carrying that extra energy down to the runway usually leaves the threshold speed fast too, as it was here at 151 kt, 10 kt above target.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator on final, holding it centered all the way to the threshold at 50 ft.
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: sink rate 1,740 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 5.3° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.0° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,502 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 154 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Luxembourg-Findel International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 06, utilizing 1,572 meters, or 39% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots, taking advantage of the 13-knot headwind and minimal crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 107 nautical miles in 17 minutes, increasing its altitude by 27,550 feet. The climb phase began overhead Senningen, Luxembourg, and continued until the aircraft reached its initial cruise altitude. Subsequent level cruise phases were initiated at various points along the route, including 1 mile east of Korbeek-Lo, Belgium, and 9 miles south east of Walton-on-the-Naze, England. The aircraft's descent phases were also notable, with a significant decrease in altitude from 29,985 feet to 9,158 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at London City Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft descending from 4,005 feet to 1,802 feet in 2 minutes. The landing was completed on the 1,334-meter runway, with the touchdown point being slightly misaligned from the centerline. The aircraft utilized 98% of the available runway length, with a total landing distance of 1,309 meters. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 319 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 2,894 kilograms. The flight duration was 63 minutes.
The final approach to runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport from the east was initiated at 3 nm and 1,762 ft above ground level, heading 273.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 151 kt, which may have contributed to the subsequent touchdown characteristics.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 148 kt, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -909 fpm. This resulted in a touchdown point that was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.0 m. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 7 kt at 345°, contributed to a crosswind of 7 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,309 m, which was 98% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.4 m. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, but with some room for improvement. The score for this landing was 74.7%.
