Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 33 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,690 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,131 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 A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta International Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 09L, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 76°F.
As the aircraft climbed out of Atlanta, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 7,910 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The climb started overhead the airport, and the aircraft continued to ascend to higher altitudes. The enroute level cruise phase began approximately 4 miles northwest of the Pinetree Heliport in Cumming, Georgia, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from an altitude of 8,013 feet to 17,173 feet, an increase of 9,160 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This climb phase started approximately 3 miles southwest of Conyers, Georgia. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with the next enroute level cruise phase beginning approximately 1 mile southeast of the Elbert Co-Patz Airport in Elberton, Georgia, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final descent, starting approximately 5 miles west of Calhoun Falls, South Carolina. The descent from 8,376 feet to 3,385 feet took 11 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, this time lasting for 34 minutes and covering 75 nautical miles, starting approximately 4 miles east of Ware Shoals, South Carolina.
The final approach to runway 36R at Charlotte Douglas International Airport took place from the south, with the aircraft heading 356.0° at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 36R, which had a length of 8,690 feet, was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, touchdown distance, touchdown speed, and touchdown rate. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 75°F.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 203 nautical miles, taking a total of 77 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,487 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT) on runway 36R, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 356.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on the runway with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 138 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 1,125 feet was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 135 knots was also good, suggesting a gentle and stable landing.
The aircraft's touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was within the normal range, indicating a controlled and safe descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F. The total landing distance of 4,317 feet was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities. The high score of 99.4% reflects the excellent performance of the pilot and the aircraft during the landing.
