Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 4.3°.
What happened: The wings held 4.3° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 4.1° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 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 A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport, TJSJ, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This process took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 168 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 100°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,024 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 33,796 feet, an increase of 32,772 feet in just 19 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 126 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 154 minutes and covered a distance of 1,115 nautical miles.
The cruise phase was interrupted by a second climb, which took place at a latitude of 38.3918557 and a longitude of -71.491147. This climb saw the aircraft ascend from 32,457 feet to 35,569 feet, an increase of 3,113 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft began its descent, starting at a latitude of 38.5471672 and a longitude of -71.6107583. The descent took place from 35,152 feet to 32,418 feet, a decrease of 2,734 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a second level cruise phase, which lasted for 26 minutes and covered a distance of 182 nautical miles. This phase was followed by a descent, which began 5 miles south of Milford, Connecticut. The descent took place from 32,092 feet to 1,378 feet, a decrease of 30,714 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, LaGuardia Airport, KLGA, it began its final approach to runway 04 from the southwest, heading 32.0° at an altitude of 1,350 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,135 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 419 meters, but the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -313 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at 130°. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the tailwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 950 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 1,544 nautical miles, taking 232 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 10,325 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KLGA LaGuardia Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,350 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 04, which has a length of 2,135 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 419 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 132 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to a firm touchdown rate of -313 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.5 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 950 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision.
