Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,363 ft 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 KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport. This process took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 22L, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 5,015 feet, which was 62% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 334°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,708 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 35,881 feet, an increase of 34,173 feet in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 100 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Bensenville, Illinois, and continued until the aircraft reached its cruising altitude. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile north of Savanna, Illinois, and lasted for 161 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 1,042 nautical miles. The level cruise phase was followed by a descent, which started 4 miles south east of the 10ID Flat Top Airstrip Muldoon in Idaho. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 35,739 feet to 8,025 feet, a decrease of 27,714 feet in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 86 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 12 miles west of the 2U0 Smith Prairie Airport Prairie in Idaho and lasted for 2 minutes. This phase covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 8 miles east of Boise, Idaho. The descent took place from an altitude of 8,007 feet to 3,683 feet, a decrease of 4,324 feet in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field took place from the west, with the aircraft heading 115.0° at an altitude of 3 nautical miles and 849 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 9,745 feet, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was also good at 128 knots, while the touchdown distance was 1,357 feet. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -295 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 9°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 5,473 feet, which was 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking area from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,256 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 212 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 18,148 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 115.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 849 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 10R, which has a length of 9,745 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 128 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 1,357 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
However, there were a few areas for improvement. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was good, but the touchdown rate of -295 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A more controlled touchdown rate would have been desirable to minimize the impact on the aircraft's landing gear and to ensure a smoother ride for passengers. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may have required the pilot to make some adjustments during the rollout.
The local weather conditions were favorable for the landing, with a temperature of 81°F and a light wind of 3 knots at 9°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 3 and 1 knots respectively, which reduced the risk of the aircraft being blown off course during the landing. The total landing distance of 5,473 feet was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the maneuver.
