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 6.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,550 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 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 London Luton Airport (EGGW). This process took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 25, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 143 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 250°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 15-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Luton. The aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,457 feet above sea level to 28,010 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,552 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile north-east of Kings Worthy, Hampshire, and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 45 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 13 miles south-east of Swanage, Dorset, and involved a descent from 28,009 feet above sea level to 2,029 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,980 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at Jersey Airport (EGJJ) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,753 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 26 at EGJJ, which had a length of 1,550 meters. The initial landing attempt had a threshold height that was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 197 knots. However, the second landing attempt had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 128 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance was good at 404 meters, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was good at -195 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 340°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,066 meters, which was 69% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 284 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 72 minutes, during which the aircraft used 2,788 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EGJJ Jersey Airport, with a score of 85.9%. The final approach to runway 26 was initiated from the east, heading 262.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,753 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was well above the target. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 197 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a higher speed during the approach. This could be a result of the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision-making.
In contrast, the second landing attempt resulted in a good threshold height and a more suitable threshold speed of 128 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 404 meters, and the touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 340°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain a good alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance was 1,066 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a good speed and control during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there were some areas for improvement, such as the excessively high threshold speed during the first landing attempt. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the pilot was able to achieve a more suitable threshold speed and a good overall landing performance.
