Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 142 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 124 kt, 18 kt before the 142 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 129 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 133 kt against a VREF of 129 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 129 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: speed 69 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 32 kt FAST on the reference speed of 129 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,173 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,648 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at KEYW Key West International Airport; the taxi-out required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 3,709 ft, representing 77 % of the runway length, and rotated at 124 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 92 °F, wind 5 kt from 140°, with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Stock Island, Florida, with the airplane climbing from 1,061 ft asl to 38,009 ft asl, an increase of 36,948 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 120 nm.
Cruise began 2 miles south-east of 59FD Big Cypress Airfield, Immokalee, Florida, and continued for 85 minutes, during which 665 nm were flown at level altitude.
Descent started 1 mile west of Gasburg, Virginia, with the aircraft descending from 37,998 ft asl to 825 ft asl, a loss of 37,173 ft in 23 minutes and covering 141 nm.
The final approach to runway 01 at KDCA Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport involved a descent from 835 ft agl to -428 ft agl in 83 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 01 was executed with a runway length of 7,173 ft; the threshold speed was 134 kt. Touchdown occurred 264 ft beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 121 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 62 fpm and a lateral deviation of 12 ft from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 72 °F, wind 6 kt from 80°, a 5 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. The total landing distance measured 4,513 ft, equivalent to 63 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, confirming a smooth deceleration and exit from the runway.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area; the taxi-in required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 933 nm, lasted 134 minutes, and consumed 9,472 lb of fuel.
