Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 145 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 163 kt, 18 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 145 kt at liftoff
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,011 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 975 ft 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 Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 27R, with a takeoff distance of 5,889 feet, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 66°F and winds of 4 knots at 240°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. After departing from Atlanta, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of College Park, Georgia. The climb took 10 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 2,042 feet above sea level to 24,970 feet, an increase of 22,928 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 45 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 4 miles south of GA50 Dream Team Airport Madison, Georgia. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered the same distance of 45 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 8 miles southeast of Washington, Georgia. The climb took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 25,427 feet to 30,359 feet, an increase of 4,933 feet. The distance covered during this climb was 30 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 3 miles northwest of Murphys Estates, South Carolina. The descent took 17 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 30,590 feet to 1,138 feet, a decrease of 29,451 feet. The distance covered during this descent was 108 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Charleston International Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 205.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,102 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 21, which had a length of 7,011 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 979 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -427 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 57°F and winds of 3 knots at 210°, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 236 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 47 minutes. The aircraft used 4,234 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KCHS Charleston International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 205.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,102 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 21, which has a length of 7,011 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 979 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -427 feet per minute (fpm). A slightly slower touchdown speed would have been more desirable to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and to provide a smoother ride for the passengers.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline as it touched down. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 57°F and a light headwind of 3 knots from 210°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 3,559 feet was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway centerline as it rolled out after touchdown. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the final approach and landing.
