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 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 58 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 58 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 727 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.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,926 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,926 m of the 3,893 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 727 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 26 at EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 26, the aircraft used 1,355 m of runway (49 % of the available length) and lifted off at 161 kt; ambient temperature was 19 °C with a wind of 19 kt from 200°, providing a 16 kt crosswind component and an 11 kt headwind.
Climb commenced over Wilskerke, rising from 1,017 ft asl to 31,083 ft asl-a gain of 30,065 ft-over 16 minutes while covering 110 nm.
Cruise began 1 mile east of Anhee and continued for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 149 nm at level altitude.
Descent started above Autrey, descending from 31,617 ft asl to 2,148 ft asl, a loss of 29,469 ft in 14 minutes and traversing 76 nm.
The final approach to runway 15 at LFSB EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg reduced altitude from 1,306 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 99 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 15 was achieved with a threshold speed of 140 kt; the touchdown occurred 310 m beyond the touchdown zone at 131 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 175 fpm and a lateral offset of 10.5 m from the centreline. The runway length is 3,893 m, the threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above target, and local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 5 kt from 150°, a 0 kt crosswind and a 5 kt headwind. Total landing distance measured 1,844 m (47 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 10.7 m, and the aircraft decelerated over the remaining runway distance after touchdown.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 344 nm, lasted 57 minutes, and consumed 2,722 kg of fuel.
