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 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 16 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 16 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 16 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,604 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBED Laurence G Hanscom Field, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 1,180 meters, which accounted for 55% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile northeast of Concord, Massachusetts, and ascended from an altitude of 1,195 feet above sea level to 15,014 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,819 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Leominster, Massachusetts, and lasted for 13 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 49 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 1 mile northeast of CT09 Heckler Field Coventry, Connecticut, and involved a descent from 14,909 feet above sea level to 1,577 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,332 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 20 at KHVN Tweed New Haven Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading at 188.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,563 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 20 was successful, with a touchdown point located 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 249 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline.
The flight concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 113 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 41 minutes. The aircraft used 1,477 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KHVN Tweed New Haven Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 188.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,563 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 20, which has a length of 1,604 meters.
The pilot's performance during the final approach was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 129 knots. The touchdown point was 103 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 117 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -126 feet per minute (fpm).
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or other factors. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from 249°. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which is 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 15.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's difficulty in maintaining alignment during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and rollout. The pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft was able to land safely within the acceptable parameters.
