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 32 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.3 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 333 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 0.3 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,693 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 732 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 07, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 kt after a takeoff distance of 4,462 ft, which covered 62% of the available runway. The aircraft encountered a gentle headwind of 5 kt and a slight crosswind of 3 kt, with a temperature of 82 °F and a wind direction of 90 °.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Monkey Hill, Saint Kitts and Nevis, reaching a height of 35,891 ft asl after a vertical ascent of 34,873 ft in 15 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, covering 413 nm in 63 minutes, before initiating a second climb phase 61 miles east of Cockburn Town, Turks and Caicos Islands. This climb phase saw the aircraft ascend to 38,010 ft asl, a mere 2,000 ft increase in just 3 minutes. Following this, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, lasting 75 minutes and covering 494 nm.
As the aircraft began its descent 36 miles south west of MYAN San Andros Airport, Andros Island, Bahamas, it started its final approach to runway 09 at Miami International Airport. The aircraft touched down on the runway after a touchdown distance of 707 ft, with a speed of 129 kt and a rate of descent of -290 fpm. The total landing distance was 4,196 ft, covering 37% of the available runway. Following a smooth taxiing process, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,159 nm and consuming 13,888 lbs of fuel in the process.
The final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 87.0° at 4 nm and 1,222 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway centerline. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 kt, indicating a slight over-rotation.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 707 ft, but the touchdown speed at 129 kt was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -290 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79°F and a 7 kt headwind, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 4,196 ft, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 98.5%.
