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 5.2 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 attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 911 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,741 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 911 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 26L at CYVR Vancouver International Airport, a movement that lasted 18 minutes and covered 3 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 26L with a take-off distance of 2 400 m, using 69 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 168 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 16 °C, wind 7 kt from 289°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb to 1 000 ft agl took 25 seconds, averaging 1 911 fpm and reaching 181 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1 034 ft asl to 34 729 ft asl in 29 minutes, covering 205 nm and beginning 1 mile west of CYVR.
Cruise was level between 34 900 ft asl and 37 200 ft asl for 180 minutes, covering 1 520 nm, starting 19 miles west of Castlegar.
Descent began from 37 352 ft asl to 1 822 ft asl in 26 minutes, covering 129 nm, starting 13 miles north-west of CYOQ Hay Island Airstrip Owen Sound, with a brief level-off at 4 400 ft asl.
The first final approach to runway 06R at CYYZ Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport descended from 1 313 ft agl to 65 ft agl in 106 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration was landing gear down at 3 199 ft agl, 159 kt; final flap position 5 at 2 092 ft agl, 156 kt.
A go-around was executed on runway 06R at 26 ft agl.
A second final approach to the same runway descended from 1 313 ft agl to 74 ft agl in 105 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1 000 ft and 500 ft were again met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration remained landing gear down at 3 199 ft agl, 159 kt; final flap position 5 at 2 092 ft agl, 156 kt.
Landing on runway 06R, runway length 2 741 m, the threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was good at 138 kt. The flare was described as very good, though the nose was raised too far. Touchdown occurred 493 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 129 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 329 fpm. The touchdown point was misaligned by 13.1 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was temperature 16 °C, wind 10 kt from 350°, giving an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 6 kt head-wind component. Five bounces were recorded on touchdown.
The total flight covered 1 910 nm, lasted 264 minutes and used 12 453 kg of fuel.
