Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 m.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 15 m instead of 22 m.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 22 m against a 15 m target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 844 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,852 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,852 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 844 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bastia-Poretta Airport (LFKB), the Airbus A319 began its journey with a smooth departure roll from runway 34. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 152 kt, clearing the runway threshold in 1,458 meters, which represented 57% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began a steady ascent from 305 meters above sea level to 9,752 meters, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles in 15 minutes. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase followed, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 9,747 meters for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles. The descent phase began overhead Isola, with the aircraft descending from 9,747 meters to 8,535 meters in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The remainder of the flight was marked by a series of enroute level cruise and descent phases, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed. The final approach to Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft descending from 1,757 meters above sea level to 810 meters in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 422 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 120 kt. The total landing distance was 1,765 meters, representing 49% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 346 nautical miles and using 2,792 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 04 at LSGG Geneva Cointrin International Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft heading 46.0° at 4 nm and 382.3 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 21.5 meters above ground level being well above the target. This allowed for a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a threshold speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down 422 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 120 knots was good, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was fair, suggesting a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown characteristics. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,765 meters, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 87.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown characteristics, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
