Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 150 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 137 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 144 kt, 7 kt above the 137 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 137 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,087 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 departed Des Moines International Airport, KDSM, on runway 31, utilizing 52% of the 2,743-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 152 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 6°C, with a 20-knot wind blowing from 290°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 19 knots.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,958 feet above sea level to 35,694 feet, it covered a distance of 86 nautical miles in 11 minutes, achieving an increase of 33,736 feet. The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 3 miles south of Albany, Missouri, and lasted 18 minutes, covering 384 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 35,584 feet, reducing its altitude to 12,663 feet in 7 minutes, covering 77 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of level cruises and descents, with the final descent commencing 3 miles west of Cedar Hill, Texas, and resulting in a touchdown on runway 35C at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, KDFW.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 144 knots, which was above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 409 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 141 knots was slightly fast. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,329 meters accounted for 32% of the 4,095-meter runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in 10 minutes. The total flight distance was 624 nautical miles, with a flight time of 65 minutes and a fuel consumption of 4,798 kilograms.
The Airbus A320 touched down on runway 35C at KDFW Dallas Fort Worth International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height. The aircraft's threshold speed of 144 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a high level of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The aircraft's descent was well-managed, with a touchdown distance of 409 m, which was within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 141 kt was slightly higher than the target, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -231 fpm. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a 30 kt headwind, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by a total landing distance of 1,329 m, which represented only 32% of the runway length.
The rollout phase was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The overall performance of the Airbus A320 during the landing was impressive, with a final score of 98.9%. The aircraft's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases was evident, and the rollout alignment was a testament to the crew's skill and attention to detail.
