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 2.9°, 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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 525 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 19 and took off with a takeoff distance of 1,415 meters, which was 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 9°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 179°. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Alexandria, Virginia, and reached an altitude of 32,601 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,580 feet in 15 minutes and covering 82 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile west of the NJ30 Paruszewski Farm Strip Salem in New Jersey and lasted 13 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 7 miles southwest of the ZC06 Long Island Static Carrier - CVN76 in New York, descending from 32,817 feet to 5,385 feet above sea level, a decrease of 27,432 feet in 23 minutes and covering 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 2 miles east of North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles north of the KMEO Melville Airport in Melville, Rhode Island, descending from 4,777 feet to 1,372 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,405 feet in 5 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport was made from the northeast, heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,307 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,184 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -298 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -2°C temperature.
The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The flight then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 324 nautical miles, and it took 68 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,683 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at KPVD Theodore Francis Green State Airport, achieving a score of 94.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 212.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 129 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -298 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's rate of descent was not excessively steep.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was well above the target, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed during the approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, which may have affected the aircraft's performance. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities were sufficient to handle the conditions.
The total landing distance of 1,201 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point accuracy.
