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 22 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 133 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt, 19 kt above the 133 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 133 kt at the threshold.
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 runway's 3.3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,377 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 550 m past the threshold — beyond 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 KPBG Plattsburgh International Airport. This process took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 35, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 1,313 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 3°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 297 degrees. The crosswind was 12 knots, and the headwind was 14 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Parc, New York, and the aircraft climbed from 1,261 feet above sea level to 3,344 feet, an increase of 2,082 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead NY97 Northway Airport Morrisonville, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles. Another enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Keeseville, and the aircraft climbed from 3,330 feet to 22,337 feet, an increase of 19,007 feet in 7 minutes, covering 42 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Ticonderoga, and lasted for 12 minutes, covering 76 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile southeast of 4B0 South Albany Airport South Bethlehem. The descent from 22,483 feet to 2,368 feet, a decrease of 20,115 feet in 12 minutes, covered a distance of 62 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles west of KOAU Lake Carmel Airport Lake Carmel, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. Another descent started 2 miles southeast of Brinckerhoff, and the aircraft descended from 2,287 feet to 1,086 feet, a decrease of 1,201 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final level cruise phase started overhead Fishkill, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at KSWF New York Stewart International Airport, heading 258.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 678 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 27, which was 2,377 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown point was 124 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 137 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -206 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,340 meters, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 24.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 213 nautical miles, and the flight took 50 minutes. The aircraft used 1,898 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at New York Stewart International Airport (KSWF) on runway 27. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 678 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was found to be above the target speed, registering at 152 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 124 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -206 feet per minute was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from a direction of 299°. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 17 knots. The runway length at KSWF is 2,377 meters, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to land safely.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,340 meters, accounting for 56% of the available runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe rollout. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be misaligned by 24.5 meters from the centerline, which may require further attention to ensure proper alignment during future landings.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired landing parameters, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's performance.
