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 11 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,548 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,548 m of the 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 345 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Yampa Valley Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 2,091 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 149 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 32 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 272 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the headwind was 20 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Hayden, Colorado, and ascending from 7,460 feet above sea level to 23,149 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,689 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 42 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Walden, Colorado, and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 12 miles north of Estes Park, Colorado, and descending from 23,824 feet above sea level to 6,396 feet above sea level, a decrease of 17,428 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34R at Denver International Airport was made from the south, heading 359.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,038 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 34R, which had a length of 3,670 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 348 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 129 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -565 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,467 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The total flight distance was 149 nautical miles, taking 45 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,757 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed on runway 34R at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 359.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,038 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,670 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. This may indicate a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed, but it did not appear to significantly impact the landing. The touchdown distance was good at 348 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold.
However, the touchdown speed of 129 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the very hard touchdown rate of -565 feet per minute (fpm). A harder touchdown rate can increase the risk of damage to the aircraft and may also affect the comfort of the passengers. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 31°C and winds of 20 knots at 60°. The crosswind component was 17 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,467 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment and direction during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and touchdown conditions.
