Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,011 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 626 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KBOS Logan International Airport, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 15R, with a takeoff distance of 5,344 feet, which was 58% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 38°F temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 260°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of Winthrop, Massachusetts, and the aircraft climbed from 979 feet above sea level to 34,007 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,028 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 8 miles west of KBID Block Island State Airport, Block Island, Rhode Island, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 500 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 4 miles west of NC65 Yonder Airport, Atkinson, North Carolina, and descended from 34,010 feet above sea level to 9,009 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,002 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, this time starting 9 miles southeast of Bonneau, South Carolina, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 1 mile east of Bonneau, and the aircraft descended from 9,011 feet above sea level to 1,603 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,407 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles northwest of Sangaree, South Carolina, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at KCHS Charleston International Airport was made from the northwest, heading 147.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 at KCHS Charleston International Airport was successful, with a runway length of 9,011 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 624 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -724 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 52°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 10°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The total landing distance was 3,205 feet, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 727 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 13,421 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at KCHS Charleston International Airport, achieving a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 147.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the runway's length of 9,011 feet and its orientation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 139 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly above the optimal range, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown distance of 624 feet was within the acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -724 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very heavy, suggesting a steeper-than-desired descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 feet from the centerline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's alignment or a slight crosswind effect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 2 knots at 10°, contributed to a minimal crosswind and tailwind of 1 knot each. These conditions likely played a role in the aircraft's landing performance.
The total landing distance of 3,205 feet was 36% of the runway's length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to standard procedures, despite minor deviations in touchdown speed and alignment.
