Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 295 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 168 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 1,914 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,914 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 805 m past the threshold — beyond 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, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 03 at CYYG Charlottetown Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,354 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 14 knots at 29 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Charlottetown Airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile north of the airport and continued for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,128 feet above sea level to 12,293 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,164 feet. The enroute level cruise that followed started 5 miles south of Kensington, Prince Edward Island, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 12,311 feet above sea level to 38,404 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,093 feet, which took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles. The enroute descent that followed started 20 miles northeast of CCG3 Weyman Airpark Burtt's Corner, New Brunswick, and descended from 38,374 feet above sea level to 37,312 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,063 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, which started 13 miles north of CCG3 Weyman Airpark Burtt's Corner and lasted for 124 minutes, covering a distance of 464 nautical miles. The enroute descent that followed started 5 miles west of Madoc, Ontario, and descended from 37,383 feet above sea level to 1,873 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,510 feet, in 19 minutes and covering 98 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 226.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,312 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the touchdown point being 394 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -293 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 4 knots at 150 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,838 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 723 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes, with the aircraft using 5,518 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport (CYYZ) on runway 23. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,312 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a score of 86.6%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was slightly above the target threshold height, with an altitude of 69 feet agl, which is higher than the desired 50 feet. However, the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 136 knots, which is a relatively high speed for a landing. The touchdown point was 394 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft landed slightly down the runway.
The touchdown speed of 126 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -293 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 150°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,838 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively long. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.8 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the longer landing distance.
Overall, the Airbus A320 aircraft performed a satisfactory landing at Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a score of 86.6%. While there were some minor issues with the approach and touchdown, the aircraft's performance during the landing was generally good.
