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 7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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 179 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 393 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 1,534 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,534 m of the 3,671 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 587 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A319 then departed from runway 33R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,658 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport and reaching an altitude of 33,958 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 77 nautical miles, took 15 minutes and resulted in an increase of 32,440 feet in altitude. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, starting 14 miles northwest of North East, Pennsylvania, and lasting for 103 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 748 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles east of KSGJ Northeast Florida Regional Airport in St. Augustine, Florida. The descent from 33,933 feet to 30,808 feet took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles east of Saint Augustine, and lasting for 9 minutes. However, it soon began its final descent, starting 4 miles east of Saint Augustine, and descending from 30,808 feet to 1,390 feet above sea level. This descent, which covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, took 19 minutes.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 18R at KMCO Orlando International Airport, flying from the north at a heading of 179.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,671 meters. The touchdown point was 162 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 114 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -344 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 1 degree Celsius. The total landing distance was 1,445 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 922 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 152 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,533 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 179.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a good threshold speed of 127 knots, which is a crucial factor in ensuring a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 162 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the aircraft landing beyond the designated touchdown zone. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 1°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. However, the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's descent and landing, achieving a high score despite the challenging conditions.
The total landing distance of 1,445 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a precise and controlled landing, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was brought to a stop in a safe and controlled manner.
