Flight Score
Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,611 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 49 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 09 at Kansas City International Airport (KMCI), with a takeoff distance of 1,028 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots at 69 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the headwind was 13 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of KMCI, where the aircraft ascended from 1,614 feet above sea level to 31,226 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,612 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles east of Trenton Municipal Airport (KTRX) and lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 175 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 2 miles northwest of Frye (IS06) and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 31,354 feet above sea level to 1,859 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,494 feet. This descent covered a distance of 99 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,239 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 04R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 46 meters and a touchdown speed of 152 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was very hard at -553 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at 60 degrees, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The total landing distance was 869 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 357 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 44.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,239 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 151 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a harder-than-expected touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 46 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -553 feet per minute (fpm) was extremely high, indicating a very hard touchdown. This may have been due to the aircraft's excessive speed at touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the pilot's attempt to compensate for the crosswind.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 12 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for landing, and the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach despite the presence of wind.
The total landing distance of 869 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown, and the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the touchdown speed and rate. However, the pilot's ability to maintain control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown, despite the presence of wind and a slightly misaligned touchdown position, was commendable.
