Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 147 kt, then rotate and let the speed build to 164 kt.
What happened: You started the rotation at 123 kt, 24 kt before the 147 kt rotation speed, and the climb stayed slow at 144 kt against a target of 164 kt. Rotating early usually carries a slow climb with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 147 kt at rotation, 164 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 3.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,391 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 343 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320-ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 25L at Brussels Airport (EBBR) for 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Take-off was on runway 25L. The aircraft used 2,060 m of runway (64 % of the available length). Rotation occurred at 123 kt. Local weather was 18 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 256°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 9 kt head-wind component.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl lasted 26 seconds, averaging 1,697 fpm and reaching 145 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 1,145 ft asl to 14,010 ft asl in 5 minutes, covering 25 nm and passing overhead Zaventem.
Cruise was level at 14,000 ft asl for 5 minutes, covering 32 nm, beginning about 1 mile east of Moerbeke.
Descent began from 14,021 ft asl and proceeded to 969 ft asl in 15 minutes, covering 61 nm, starting 1 mile south-west of Kerkwerve, with a brief level-off at 7,500 ft asl.
Final approach to runway 36R at Amsterdam Schiphol (EHAM) started from 1,227 ft agl and descended to 84 ft agl in 100 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, speed and wings level; the centreline check was not met at one gate. Configuration changes were gear down at 6,625 ft agl at 187 kt and final flap 5 at 6,147 ft agl at 165 kt.
Landing on runway 36R used a threshold height of 57 ft agl, slightly above target, and a threshold speed of 137 kt, also slightly above target. The flare was poor, with little round-out. Touchdown occurred 343 m from the threshold at 136 kt, a little fast, with a hard rate of minus 422 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was perfect and there was no bounce. Total landing distance was 1,309 m (39 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 16 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 228°, giving a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered 126 nm in 34 minutes and consumed 1,356 kg of fuel.
