MY FS FLIGHTS
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 7.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 119 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 279 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,962 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 439 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Savannah Hilton Head International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 01, the departure roll commenced, and the aircraft accelerated down the 1,039-meter runway, using 49% of its length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14°C.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Savannah Hilton Head International Airport. The climb phase saw the aircraft ascend from 1,017 feet above sea level to 27,413 feet, an increase of 26,395 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 20 minutes and covered 135 nautical miles. The flight continued with a series of enroute climbs and descents, with the aircraft leveling off at various altitudes to conserve fuel and optimize performance. The final approach to runway 18 at St. Petersburg Clearwater International Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending from 4,010 feet above sea level to 2,850 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The Airbus A319 touched down on runway 18 at a speed of 122 knots, with a touchdown distance of 431 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The aircraft's touchdown rate was fair at -228 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 110°. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 430 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 3,289 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 95 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 18 at KPIE St. Petersburg Clearwater International Airport with a satisfactory touchdown rate of -228 fpm, slightly above the optimal rate. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 131 kt was also satisfactory.
The aircraft's performance during the rollout phase was commendable, with very good alignment along the centreline. The total landing distance of 1,105 m, accounting for 41% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a moderate headwind of 4 kt, did not significantly impact the landing. The crosswind component of 7 kt was also manageable.
The overall landing performance scored 98.9%, reflecting the aircraft's ability to execute a precise and controlled touchdown. The approach quality was good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and consistent descent profile. The crew's skill and experience were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft through the approach and landing phases with precision and control.
