Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,350 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 06, with a takeoff distance of 1,354 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 0°C, a wind speed of 4 knots at 220°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,262 feet above sea level to 19,618 feet above sea level, an increase of 18,356 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The climb started 1 mile northwest of L'Ancienne-Lorette, Quebec, Canada. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 21 nautical miles, starting 2 miles east of CAA4 Saint-Apollinaire Aerodrome, Quebec, Canada.
The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 19,653 feet above sea level to 15,615 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,038 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This descent started 8 miles northwest of Plessisville, Quebec, Canada. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles, starting 2 miles northeast of Saint-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Quebec, Canada.
The aircraft continued its descent from 15,145 feet above sea level to 3,941 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,204 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. This descent started 7 miles northeast of Saint-Barnabe-Sud, Quebec, Canada. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, starting 1 mile west of Mercier, Quebec, Canada.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 3,950 feet above sea level to 3,101 feet above sea level, a decrease of 849 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This descent started 3 miles west of Sainte-Martine, Quebec, Canada. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, starting 5 miles north of Ormstown, Quebec, Canada.
The aircraft's final descent started 1 mile east of Notre-Dame-de-l'Ile-Perrot, Quebec, Canada, from 2,563 feet above sea level to 1,397 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,167 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 06L at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, heading 42.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 06L, with a runway length of 3,350 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 129 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 368 meters, and the touchdown speed was 116 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -254 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,312 meters, which was 39%
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, achieving a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 42.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 129 knots, and the touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 368 meters. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was satisfactory, but the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 140°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,312 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and rollout alignment.
