Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 164 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 147 kt against a target of 164 kt, running 17 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 164 kt.
Arrival
Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 127 kt rather than carrying excess speed.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 133 kt, 6 kt above the 127 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.9° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 127 kt at the threshold.
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: speed 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 127 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 273 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 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft used 1,320 m of runway, representing 60 % of the available length, and lifted off at 145 kt. Ambient conditions were 31 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 100°, a crosswind component of 4 kt and a headwind component of 11 kt.
Climb commenced 1 mile south of Marigot, Saint-Martin, where the airplane ascended from 812 ft asl to 38 000 ft asl, a gain of 37 188 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 131 nm.
The level cruise segment began 6 miles east of Culebra, Puerto Rico, and persisted for 115 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 849 nm.
Descent was initiated 37 miles southwest of MYAN San Andros Airport, Bahamas, with the aircraft descending from 38 020 ft asl to 1 327 ft asl, a loss of 36 693 ft over 24 minutes and a distance of 136 nm.
Final approach to runway 09 at KMIA Miami International Airport involved a descent from 1 353 ft agl to 62 ft agl in 100 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 09 was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 134 kt; touchdown occurred 273 m down the runway at a speed of 128 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 573 fpm and very good runway-touchdown alignment. The runway length is 3 564 m.
Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 1 154 m, representing 32 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1 123 nm, took 170, and consumed 6 129 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KTLH Tallahassee Regional Airport, achieving a score of 97.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 27, which has a length of 2,430 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was faster than the target speed, which may have contributed to the overrun. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway after touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,247 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently, with a good balance between speed and control. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
