Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 142 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 158 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
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 6,781 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,781 ft of the 12,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,943 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 15L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport. The takeoff distance was 6,436 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 96 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 6 knots at 117 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the airport and reaching an altitude of 38,064 feet above sea level. This climb, which covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, took 19 minutes and involved an increase of 36,962 feet in altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 76 minutes and covered a distance of 511 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southwest of Fairfield, Texas. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 10 miles south of Eads, Colorado. The descent, which covered a distance of 131 nautical miles, took 26 minutes and involved a decrease of 30,937 feet in altitude, from 37,560 feet to 6,623 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 181.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 12,039 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 126 knots.
The touchdown point was 574 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 116 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 85 degrees Fahrenheit and winds of 4 knots at 90 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 6,511 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 763 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 136 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,823 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at Denver International Airport (KDEN) on runway 17R, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,234 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 threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 126 knots. The touchdown point was 574 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance. The touchdown speed of 116 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 85°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 6,511 feet was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control. The high score of 98.1% reflects the pilot's expertise and adherence to standard operating procedures.
