Flight Score
Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 37 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 37 ft, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 126 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 133 kt, 7 kt above the 126 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 126 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 6,871 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,730 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A319 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 01L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 147 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 26,988 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,030 feet from its initial altitude of 958 feet. This climb took place over a distance of 70 nautical miles and lasted for 15 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for a short period of time.
The first descent of the flight began 16 miles southwest of Carmel Valley Village Airport (KCAL), with the aircraft descending from 26,997 feet to 8,397 feet over a distance of 134 nautical miles and a time period of 23 minutes. The aircraft then climbed again, this time from 8,315 feet to 8,890 feet over a distance of 6 nautical miles and a time period of 2 minutes.
The flight continued with a series of level cruises and descents, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for short periods of time before descending to lower altitudes. These descents took place over various locations, including near New Cuyama, Ojai, Casa Conejo, Agoura, Topanga, El Segundo, Lawndale, and La Jolla.
The final approach to San Diego International Airport (KSAN) took place from the west, with the aircraft descending from 3,851 feet to 3,094 feet over a distance of 4 nautical miles and a time period of 2 minutes. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for a short period of time before beginning its final descent.
The aircraft landed on runway 09 at KSAN, with a touchdown point located 345 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 130 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -139 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 405 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 118 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,989 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at San Diego International Airport (KSAN) with a score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 106.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 09, which has a length of 6,871 feet.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 345 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly above the target speed, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -139 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 67°F. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 134 knots. However, these deviations did not appear to significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,961 feet was 58% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft aligning well with the runway and coming to a smooth stop.
