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 22 ft.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 22 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.

Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 808 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 27R at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL). The Airbus A319 took off with a takeoff distance of 5,605 feet, which was 47% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were hot, with a temperature of 97 degrees Fahrenheit.
As the aircraft climbed out of Atlanta, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 10,725 feet above sea level in just 6 minutes. The climb started over the airport and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and cruised for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning another climb. This time, it reached an altitude of 13,238 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise and climb, reaching an altitude of 18,988 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. It then leveled off and cruised for 22 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning its descent. The descent started over Barrow County Airport (KWDR) and took 14 minutes to reach an altitude of 7,987 feet above sea level, covering 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to cruise and descend, reaching an altitude of 2,299 feet above sea level in just 12 minutes, covering 31 nautical miles. It then leveled off and cruised for 42 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, before beginning its final approach to runway 04 at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP).
The final approach was made from the south west, heading 29.0 degrees, at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 125 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown distance was 814 feet, which was 27% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The total landing distance was 2,920 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 136 nautical miles, and the flight used 4,129 pounds of fuel. The flight duration was 48 minutes.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) with a score of 98.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 29.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed smoothly, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 814 feet, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -159 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
One minor issue was observed during the landing, as the aircraft touched down 22 feet off the centerline of the runway. This slight misalignment may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilots' alignment or a slight wind shear during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 90°F. This may have affected the aircraft's performance, but the pilots were able to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop within 2,920 feet of the runway, which is 27% of the runway length.
