What went well

Touched down at -1.7 m/s — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 15 m and 133 kt — both inside band
1.13 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Final 4 — Approach angle 4.0 ° at 49 %, bank angle up to 7.1 ° at 89 %, −0.73 points
Departure Climb 3 — gear not retracted; Landing gear up at 0 %, −0.67 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 41 %, −0.63 points

Next time

Departure

Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.8°.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 161 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 327 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

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.

Landing on runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport in the Airbus A320neo
Landing Score 93 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 177.0° at an altitude of 578.9 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 310 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -0.7 meters per second was smooth, indicating a controlled and stable landing.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 8 knots at 249°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.

The total landing distance of 1,499 meters was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.

Overall, the Airbus A320's landing at Melbourne International Airport was successful, with a high score of 93.0%. While there were some minor areas for improvement, the pilot's performance was generally good, and the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently.
