Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 9.5 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,748 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 762 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. This process took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27L, with a takeoff distance of 2,292 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 13 knots at 260°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 13 knots. After departing from Chicago, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from 1,700 feet above sea level to 29,624 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles northwest of the IS27 Nokomis Community Memorial Park Heliport in Nokomis, Illinois. This phase of the flight lasted 11 minutes and covered a distance of 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 3 miles east of the 33IS Howell Airport in Findlay, Illinois. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft decreasing from 29,768 feet to 1,679 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 30R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport. The approach was from the southeast, with a heading of 306.0°, and the aircraft was at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 1,140 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was required to perform a go-around at 87 feet above ground level.
After the go-around, the aircraft landed on runway 30R, with a runway length of 2,748 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 140 knots. The touchdown point was 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -362 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 269°, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,428 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 258 nautical miles, and the flight took 84 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3,277 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 30R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 306.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,140 feet above ground level (agl).
During the final approach, the aircraft's height and speed were monitored. Although the threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 144 knots. However, the aircraft's performance improved as it continued its approach, with a threshold height of 64 feet agl and a threshold speed of 140 knots, which was within the target range.
The touchdown point was 339 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 130 knots was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -362 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and winds of 12 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance was 1,428 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.
Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 30R at KSTL St. Louis Lambert International Airport was successful, with a score of 88.3%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, despite the moderate weather conditions.
