Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 139 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 155 kt against a rotation target of 139 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 139 kt.
See Departure Roll
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,005 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,386 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 09R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 4,751 feet, which was 60% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 350°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Rosemont, Illinois. The climb took 15 minutes to reach an altitude of 38,773 feet, an increase of 37,084 feet from the initial altitude of 1,689 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile south of Centreville, Michigan. This phase lasted for 49 minutes and covered a distance of 411 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile north of Catawissa, Pennsylvania. The descent took 16 minutes to reach an altitude of 3,013 feet, a decrease of 36,126 feet from the previous altitude of 39,138 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 93 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Franklin Park, New Jersey. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Larchmont, New York. The descent took 4 minutes to reach an altitude of 730 feet, a decrease of 2,206 feet from the previous altitude of 2,936 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 215.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 715 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 79°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 168°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, with a runway length of 7,005 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 123 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,387 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 116 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -196 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 3,897 feet, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 667 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7,548 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LaGuardia Airport's runway 22, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 215.0° at 2 nautical miles and 715 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 123 knots, registering at 123 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 1,387 feet was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 116 kt was a bit faster than desired, but the touchdown rate of -196 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 79°F and a moderate wind of 9 kt at 168°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 6 kt, which is relatively minimal. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The total landing distance of 3,897 feet was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 99.3% reflects the pilot's proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
