Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 161 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 34 kt fast at 195 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 161 kt in the climb
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 9.3 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.2 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 3,480 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 510 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Zagreb Franjo Tuđman International Airport (LDZA), the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 22, taking off with a distance of 1,969 meters, which accounted for 61% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 166 knots, overcoming a headwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The local temperature was 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind direction of 250 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed over Donja Lomnica, a town in the Zagreb County of Croatia. The enroute climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,339 feet above sea level to 34,010 feet, an increase of 32,670 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 97 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,010 feet for 62 minutes, covering 458 nautical miles. The descent phase began 42 miles east of Cadaques, Spain, where the aircraft descended from 34,011 feet to 4,008 feet in 20 minutes, covering 119 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a series of short level cruise phases, before beginning its final descent to Barcelona-El Prat Airport (LEBL).
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 246.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,294 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 123 knots, but the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired. The touchdown point was 91 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,141 meters, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing its journey of 800 nautical miles in 148 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5,464 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 246.0° at 4 nm and 1,294 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 123 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down 91 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 123 kt, slightly above the optimal range.
The touchdown characteristics were otherwise impressive, with a touchdown rate of -98 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.0 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 220°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,141 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 96.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
