Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,698 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,698 m of the 3,984 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 355 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Florence Airport, Peretola, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with a takeoff distance of 1,077 meters, which was 123% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 37°C temperature and winds of 12 knots at 19°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Sesto Fiorentino, Italy, and the aircraft climbed from 1,260 feet above sea level to 31,957 feet, an increase of 30,696 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 83 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 20 minutes, and covering 145 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile south east of Degersheim, Switzerland, and took the aircraft from 32,647 feet to 34,530 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Berg, Switzerland, and descending from 34,578 feet to 32,663 feet in 3 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase started 1 mile south of Leibertingen, Germany, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent again, starting overhead Messstetten, Germany, and descending from 32,676 feet to 10,496 feet in 14 minutes, covering 89 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles east of Weilbach, Germany, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting overhead Klingenberg am Main, Germany, and descending from 10,230 feet to 8,229 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase started 1 mile north of Momlingen, Germany, and lasted 5 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile north east of Gross-Gerau, Germany, and descending from 8,240 feet to 4,013 feet in 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The next level cruise phase started overhead Sorgenloch, Germany, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent once more, starting 1 mile south of Mainz, Germany, and descending from 3,772 feet to 1,611 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport took place from the south west, with a heading of 69.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,259 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 07R, with a runway length of 3,984 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was 343 meters, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -329 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 11 knots. The total landing distance was 1,600 meters, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was
The Airbus A319 successfully landed on runway 07R at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF) with a score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 130 knots, which is within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -329 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a moderate amount of force.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 30°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,600 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
