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 6.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
On final, shallow the descent to match the target approach angle rather than flying a steeper path.
What happened: On final approach at the Final 3 stage, the descent angle was steeper than the target approach path.
Watch for: Watch the approach angle against the target, aiming to keep it closer to 3.2 degrees.
See Arrival Final 3
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,498 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,101 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (KCLT). This process took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 36R, with the aircraft taking off after covering 5,068 feet, which was 58% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started at an altitude of 1,748 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 39,001 feet, an increase of 37,253 feet. This climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 73 degrees.
After reaching cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles northwest of Youngsville, North Carolina. This phase lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 352 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting from an altitude of 38,474 feet above sea level and descending to 19,074 feet, a decrease of 19,400 feet. This descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 108 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles north of West Torrington, Connecticut, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent again, this time from an altitude of 18,660 feet above sea level to 5,146 feet, a decrease of 13,514 feet. This descent took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 46 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Tariffville, Connecticut, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting from an altitude of 5,004 feet above sea level and descending to 2,071 feet, a decrease of 2,933 feet. This descent took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Bradley International Airport (KBDL) was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 227.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,881 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 134 knots and a touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 172 degrees.
The total landing distance was 3,081 feet, which was 32% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 709 nautical miles, and the flight used 9,258 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 24 at Bradley International Airport (KBDL) with a flawless performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 227.0° at 1 nautical mile and 1,881 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold speed of 137 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 1,096 feet was also within the expected parameters, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -106 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 31°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 172°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 3,081 feet, which accounts for 32% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft to a precise touchdown.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability after touchdown. The entire landing process was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a 100.0% score. This achievement highlights the exceptional training and expertise of the pilot, as well as the capabilities of the Airbus A320 aircraft.
