Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 142 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 159 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at liftoff

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 500 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 6,887 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,411 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KDEN Denver International Airport. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft taking off after covering 72% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 8,648 feet, and the liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 89°F and winds of 2 knots at 330°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 3 miles east of KDEN Denver International Airport and continued for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 6,317 feet above sea level to 36,490 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,174 feet.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles north of Harford Ranch Haigler in Nebraska. This phase lasted for 85 minutes and covered a distance of 656 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile southwest of Potter in Wisconsin. The descent took 20 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles, and brought the aircraft down from an altitude of 36,802 feet above sea level to 2,091 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 10 at KTVC Cherry Capital Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 94.0° at an altitude of 1,459 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 6,887 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 125 knots, and the touchdown distance was 1,415 feet, which was 67% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 119 knots, and the touchdown rate was -186 feet per minute, both of which were good.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F and winds of 3 knots at 49°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 4,581 feet, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 5 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 898 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 10,998 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KTVC Cherry Capital Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 94.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,459 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 6,887 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold speed of 125 knots and a touchdown speed of 119 knots. The touchdown distance of 1,415 feet was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -186 feet per minute (fpm) was well within the desired range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and expertise.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 49°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was also 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the pilot to focus on executing a precise landing.
The total landing distance of 4,581 feet was 67% of the runway's length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, even in the final stages of the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at KTVC Cherry Capital Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot executing a flawless approach and landing. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill were on full display, resulting in a score of 99.8% and a safe and successful landing.
