What went well

Threshold crossed at 36 ft and 125 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.43 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rollout held the centreline — 1.13 m off at taxi speed

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -415 fpm at 52 %, Touchdown distance was 650 m at 79 %, −0.87 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 55 %, −0.76 points
Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 20 kt at 81 %, −0.50 points

Next time

Arrival

Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.

What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 18L, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,690-meter stretch of the runway, which comprised 41% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, overcoming the 11-knot headwind and 2-knot crosswind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,541 feet above sea level to 37,010 feet, a vertical gain of 35,469 feet, in just 11 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, taking the aircraft 1 mile south-west of the airport before transitioning into a level cruise. The enroute cruise phase lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 362 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards the destination airport. The descent phase, which started 6 miles north-east of Cayton Pony Express Airport, saw the aircraft lose 34,047 feet in altitude in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached Des Moines International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 13, aligning itself with the runway from the north-west. The aircraft touched down 233 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 121 knots, with a touchdown rate of -299 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,551 meters, accounting for 57% of the runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 603 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 53 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 3,353 kilograms of fuel during the journey.

Landing Score 91.84 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 13 at KDSM Des Moines International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 126 kt was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and airspeed. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down at a speed of 121 kt, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown point was located 233 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, while not ideal, was still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -299 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a 6 kt headwind, also contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centreline, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,551 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 92.5%, reflecting the pilot's proficiency and ability to execute a safe and controlled landing.
