Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 28 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 19 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,985 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,863 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT), the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 18L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 74°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 115 degrees. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 149 knots, utilizing 49% of the available runway length of 4,270 feet.
As the aircraft climbed away from KCLT, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,613 feet above sea level to 15,005 feet, an increase of 13,392 feet in just 14 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its descent towards its destination. The descent phase was characterized by several level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude before descending again. The final approach to runway 22 at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway.
The Airbus A319 touched down on runway 22 at KGSP, with a touchdown point 427 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target, at 134 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -198 feet per minute. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 93 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 83 minutes and a fuel consumption of 2,808 pounds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 22 at KGSP Greenville Spartanburg International Airport with a score of 98.6%. The final approach from the north east, heading 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,267 ft above ground level, was executed smoothly. The threshold height was good, allowing for a controlled descent onto the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 141 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
The touchdown point was 427 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -198 fpm was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 69°F and a wind of 4 kt at 103°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 4,093 ft was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with only minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown characteristics.
