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 5.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 3.3 ft, 8 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,752 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,752 m of the 2,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 312 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KHVN Tweed New Haven Airport. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with the aircraft taking off after covering 71% of the runway's length, which was 1,139 meters. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,006 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 35,840 feet, an increase of 34,834 feet in 17 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 92 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 230 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was also 7 knots.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which started 14 miles east of Seaside Park in New Jersey. This cruise lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 148 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Bloxom in Virginia, where it descended from 36,210 feet to 33,466 feet in 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting 1 mile northwest of Melfa in Virginia. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent again, starting 1 mile west of Exmore in Virginia, where it descended from 32,920 feet to 6,812 feet in 13 minutes, covering 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 5 miles southeast of Sunbury in North Carolina. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles west of 86NC Craig Craft Airport in Hertford, North Carolina, where it descended from 6,616 feet to 1,351 feet in 5 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at KECG Elizabeth City Regional Airport & Coast Guard Air Station was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 92.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 10, which was 2,193 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 313 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 130 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -370 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,670 meters, which was 76% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 363 nautical miles, and the flight took 72 minutes. The aircraft used 2,829 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KECG Elizabeth City Regional Airport & Coast Guard Air Station with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good control, and the aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 2,193 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 134 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 313 meters was also good, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient control during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was slightly faster than the ideal speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.4 meters, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and winds of 11 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,670 meters was 76% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft had good control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored high marks for its performance.
