What held you back

Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 26.0 ° at 37 %, −0.84 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 31 %, Threshold speed was well above target at 142 kt. at 89 %, −0.83 points
Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 86 %, −0.61 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

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 13 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport in the Airbus A319
Landing Score 89.31 %
Landing Summary

The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Des Moines International Airport (KDSM) on runway 13, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach was initiated from the northwest, heading 132.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft touched down 760 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was above the target speed, indicating a slightly fast touchdown. The rate of descent was also hard, at -433 feet per minute (fpm), which may have contributed to the long touchdown distance.

Despite the slightly fast touchdown, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 5,537 feet was 62% of the available runway length of 8,982 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop, but the long touchdown distance may have required a longer rollout. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 31 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's attempt to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and stability during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and rate of descent to achieve a more optimal landing.
