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 8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,747 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 184 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 A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Pitt-Greenville Airport, taking approximately 9 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 20, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 149 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 59 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of Greenville, North Carolina. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 1,096 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 23,818 feet, an increase of 22,723 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles northwest of Pink Hill, North Carolina, and lasted for 18 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 3 miles west of Conway Horry County Airport in South Carolina, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 24,330 feet to 4,214 feet, a decrease of 20,116 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 56 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 6 miles southeast of Moncks Corner, South Carolina, and lasting for 3 minutes, during which it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final descent phase began 6 miles southeast of Moncks Corner, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 4,090 feet to 2,942 feet, a decrease of 1,148 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of Mount Holly Airport in Goose Creek, South Carolina, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Charleston International Airport took place from the northwest, with the aircraft heading at 148.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,758 feet above ground level, 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on runway 15, which had a length of 2,747 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 181 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was fair at -282 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,222 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 215 nautical miles, taking a total of 49 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,935 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KCHS Charleston International Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 148.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,758 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 130 knots, and the touchdown distance of 181 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which may indicate a slight loss of airspeed during the approach. The touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.7 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a moderate headwind of 9 knots. The crosswind component was relatively light at 7 knots, which may have made the landing more challenging.
The total landing distance of 1,222 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 15.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-center. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues that need to be addressed to improve the aircraft's performance.
