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 7.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,142 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 408 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 Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 04R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 42% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 1,469 meters, and the liftoff speed was 157 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 12 knots at 340 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,667 feet above sea level to 28,999 feet above sea level, a total increase of 27,332 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 20 miles southeast of Chatham-Kent Airport in Ontario, Canada, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 272 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles northwest of White Haven in Pennsylvania, United States, descending from 28,981 feet above sea level to 1,284 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 27,697 feet, in 16 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Newark Liberty International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing took place on the runway, with the aircraft covering 52% of the runway's length. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 409 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -289 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots at 110 degrees, with a crosswind component of 7 knots and a headwind component of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 428 nautical miles, taking a total of 80 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,887 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 04R at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport, achieving a score of 98.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 26.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 409 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high on final approach. Additionally, the threshold speed of 133 knots was also slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to reduce the aircraft's speed more effectively during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 110°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing, with the aircraft maintaining a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,124 meters was 52% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
