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 2.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.5 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,744 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Dublin Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 28L, with the aircraft taking off after covering 65% of the runway's length, which was 1,706 meters. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dublin Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of the airport, rising from an altitude of 378 meters above sea level to 9,891 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,512.6 meters. This climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 89 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles north-east of Llandudno in Wales. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 58 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 1 mile north-west of Biddulph in England, descending from an altitude of 10,059 meters above sea level to 796 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,262.6 meters. This descent took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 116 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Hempstead in England and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22 at London Stansted Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 223.0 degrees at an altitude of 395.0 meters above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing took place on runway 22, which was 2,744 meters long. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 441 meters, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -2.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which was 41% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 276 nautical miles, and the flight took 58 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,988 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at London Stansted Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 223.0° at an altitude of 395.0 meters above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was conducted at a height above the threshold, which was 19.8 meters agl, exceeding the target height.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 2,744 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 132 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 441 meters. However, the touchdown rate was slightly harder than expected, at -2.3 meters per second.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was not perfect, with a slight deviation of 4.0 meters to the side. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C.
The total landing distance was 1,130 meters, which accounts for approximately 41% 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 also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a satisfactory score of 90.3%. However, there are areas for improvement, such as maintaining a more accurate alignment with the runway centerline and reducing the touchdown rate.
