Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 11°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Carry more power on short final to hold 130 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay before the flare.
What happened: The threshold was crossed at 123 kt against a VREF of 130 kt, already below target, and the sink was fully arrested at 30 ft with speed continuing to bleed off - crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries forward into the aircraft settling on as the speed runs out, rather than flying onto the mains.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 130 kt on short final.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,020 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Brussels Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 25R, with a takeoff distance of 1,595 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 25°C temperature and winds of 11 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Diegem, Belgium, where the aircraft ascended from 1,139 feet above sea level to 34,852 feet, an increase of 33,713 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Montbre, France, and lasting 11 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile south-west of Poilly-sur-Serein, France, where the aircraft descended from 34,677 feet to 3,082 feet, a decrease of 31,595 feet in 17 minutes, covering 80 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north-east of Saint-Andre-le-Desert, France, and lasting 15 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 17R at Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,592 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 17R, which had a length of 4,020 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown point was 293 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and winds of 2 knots at 102 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,372 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 324 nautical miles, taking 72 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,723 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LFLL Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport, achieving a score of 92.3%. The final approach to runway 17R was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,592 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 124 knots. The touchdown point was located 293 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -176 feet per minute (fpm) was within the desired range.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 102°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,372 meters was 34% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in executing the approach and landing. However, there is room for improvement in terms of centerline alignment, which was slightly off by 3.2 meters.
