Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 268 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,195 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 687 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 at CYFC Fredericton Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Departure roll occurred on runway 27, with the takeoff distance being 1,364 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of -5°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 120°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was also 2 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southwest of CYFC Fredericton Airport and ascending from an altitude of 892 feet above sea level to 34,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,119 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 74 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 5 miles southeast of Sherman, Maine, and lasting 68 minutes, covering a distance of 390 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles north of Madoc, Ontario, and descending from 33,984 feet above sea level to 3,302 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,682 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles northeast of Concord, Ontario, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile west of York University Heights, Ontario, and descending from 2,958 feet above sea level to 1,964 feet above sea level, a decrease of 995 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 226.0° and at an altitude of 1,407 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway. However, the aircraft was required to execute a go-around at an altitude of 421 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then landed on runway 23 at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a runway length of 3,195 meters. The threshold height at 268 feet above ground level was excessively over target, while the threshold speed was slightly above target at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 114 knots and a touchdown rate of -315 feet per minute, which was firm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 1,420 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 583 nautical miles, taking a total of 144 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,093 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a score of 81.2%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,407 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a speed of 114 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -315 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 262 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The threshold height at 268 feet agl was excessively above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 131 knots, which may have contributed to the deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or headwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 2°C, wind at 17 knots from 210°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 16 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,420 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The score of 81.2% suggests that there is room for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a more precise approach path and touchdown point.
