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 5.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 3.7°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 305 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,095 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 m touchdown sits inside 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 KTUS Tucson International Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 11L, with the aircraft taking off after covering a distance of 1,630 meters, which was 49% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 145 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KTUS, it encountered local weather conditions of 26°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 170°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southeast of the airport and continued for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 3,670 feet above sea level to 15,405 feet, an increase of 11,735 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase started 7 miles north of AZ19 C. The aircraft then began another climb phase, which started 5 miles north of AZ19 C and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 113 nautical miles. During this phase, the aircraft climbed from 15,061 feet to 38,298 feet, an increase of 23,238 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 482 nautical miles. This phase started 14 miles west of Tyrone, New Mexico. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started 11 miles southwest of Electra, Texas. The descent from 38,489 feet to 5,310 feet took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This phase started overhead Lake Dallas, Texas. The aircraft then began its final descent phase, which started overhead Lake Dallas and continued for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The descent from 5,310 feet to 1,856 feet took 4 minutes.
The final approach to runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 180.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,281 feet above ground level. The landing occurred on a runway with a length of 4,095 meters, and the threshold height was above the target at 63 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots.
The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -415 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 29°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots at 210°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,095 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 10 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 747 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 123 minutes. The aircraft used 4,488 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed on runway 17C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, but with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 180.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,281 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 60 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a slight deviation from the target. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was also a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied a bit too much reverse thrust or braking. The touchdown rate of -415 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a significant deceleration upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight drift or crosswind effect. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 29°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some minor areas for improvement. The pilot may need to adjust their approach and landing techniques to achieve a more precise touchdown and a smoother rollout.
