Flight Score
Departure
Add climb power and ease the pitch slightly to accelerate back to the target climb speed.
What happened: Climb speed during the third climb segment ran slow of the target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed throughout the climb segments.
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 20 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 2.5°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 361 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 20 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,141 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,141 m of the 2,738 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 909 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 16, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 161 knots after covering 95% of the runway's length.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Warwick, Rhode Island, and began its ascent from 874 feet above sea level to 33,993 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,119 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. The enroute climb continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, where it remained for 106 minutes, covering a distance of 650 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles northwest of Maysville, Georgia, and descending from 33,459 feet above sea level to 12,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 21,455 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise, this time starting 1 mile southeast of Reynoldstown, Georgia, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 2 miles south of KFTY Fulton County Airport Brown Field Atlanta, Georgia, and descending from 11,980 feet above sea level to 4,553 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,428 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise, this time starting 3 miles southwest of Douglasville, Georgia, and lasting 5 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its descent, starting 1 mile east of Chattahoochee Hills, Georgia, and descending from 4,021 feet above sea level to 3,503 feet above sea level, a decrease of 518 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and began another cruise, this time starting overhead 51GA Smith Field Tyrone, Georgia, and lasting 13 minutes, covering a distance of 41 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at KATL Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,359 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 08L, which had a length of 2,738 meters. The threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 495 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 5 knots at 300 degrees, a crosswind of 3 knots, and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,062 meters, which was 75% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway in approximately 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 906 nautical miles, taking a total of 174 minutes, and the aircraft used 7,379 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 08L at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) with a score of 88.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,359 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold speed of 138 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown point was 495 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 300°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight overrun.
The total landing distance of 2,062 meters was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, and the aircraft was well under control throughout the entire process. However, the slight overrun and the touchdown point being beyond the touchdown zone may indicate a need for further refinement in the approach and landing technique.
