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 21 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 21 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.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,899 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,438 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 KPDX Portland International Airport, taking 16 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 28L, with a takeoff distance of 3,590 feet, which was 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile east of Bridgeton, Oregon, and continued to climb from 939 feet above sea level to 36,994 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,055 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles northwest of KTHH Three Rivers Airport in Three Rivers, Oregon, and lasted for 311 minutes, covering a distance of 558 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 10 miles southwest of Pine Mountain Club, California, and descended from 36,967 feet above sea level to 20,160 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,807 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 5 miles north of Meiners Oaks, California, and lasting for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent began again 12 miles southwest of Pine Mountain Club, California, and the aircraft descended from 20,167 feet above sea level to 2,206 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,961 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 64 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting overhead Inglewood, California, and lasting for 19 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The enroute descent began again overhead Florence-Graham, California, and the aircraft descended from 2,200 feet above sea level to 1,392 feet above sea level, a decrease of 808 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24R at KLAX Los Angeles International Airport took place from the east, heading 263.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,257 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 24R, which had a length of 8,899 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was well above the target at 136 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,439 feet, and the touchdown speed was at 130 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -221 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather was 64 degrees Fahrenheit.
The total landing distance was 3,280 feet, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, taking 17 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 770 nautical miles, taking 186 minutes, and the aircraft used 14,337 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX) on runway 24R, achieving a score of 99.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to the runway was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 1,439 feet was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown speed was a bit high, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -221 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 64°F. The total landing distance of 3,280 feet was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and successfully brought the aircraft to a stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control of the aircraft.
