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 2.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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 1,821 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,821 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 263 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBOS Logan International Airport, taking approximately 10 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22R, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,009 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 17 knots at 159 degrees. The crosswind was 11 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb began overhead the MA17 Avco/Lowell Heliport in Lowell, Massachusetts, where the aircraft ascended from 1,040 feet above sea level to 32,845 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,805 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Gilmanton, New Hampshire, and lasting for 91 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles south of CSN5 Stanhope Airport in Vermont, where the aircraft descended from 32,386 feet above sea level to 1,589 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,797 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 110 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport took place from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 44.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 06 was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 133 knots.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -419 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 100 degrees, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 7 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,739 meters, accounting for 64% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 273 nautical miles, taking 58 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,469 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at CYQB Quebec Jean Lesage International Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,335 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 06, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 133 knots, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute (fpm). This could potentially put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and may require further attention from the pilots to improve their touchdown speed control.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may be a minor concern for the pilots to address in future approaches. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 16°C and wind speeds of 12 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,739 meters was 64% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed control and alignment with the runway centerline.
