Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 78 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 78 ft, 33 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 5,323 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,323 ft of the 9,032 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,413 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 A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP). This process took 17 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 04, with the aircraft taking off after covering 44% of the runway's length. The takeoff distance was 4,831 feet, and the liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 57°F. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Greer, South Carolina, and the aircraft ascended from 1,933 feet above sea level to 16,996 feet above sea level, an increase of 15,064 feet in just 10 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 4 miles south west of Gray Court, South Carolina, and lasted for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then started another enroute climb 2 miles east of Clarks Hill, South Carolina, and ascended from 16,989 feet above sea level to 36,699 feet above sea level, an increase of 19,710 feet in 18 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 4 miles north east of Collins, Georgia, and lasted for 31 minutes, covering a distance of 151 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 2 miles south west of 81FL Cox's Hammock Airport Indiantown, Florida. The descent from 36,995 feet above sea level to 4,979 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,016 feet, took 35 minutes and covered a distance of 103 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise 3 miles south west of 57FA Lake X Airport St Cloud, Florida, and lasted for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 3 miles north east of FD37 Gentry Airport St Cloud, Florida, and the aircraft descended from 5,021 feet above sea level to 1,305 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,716 feet in just 7 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35R at Orlando International Airport (KMCO) took place from the south, with the aircraft heading 360.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,208 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35R was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway after covering 55% of its length. The touchdown distance was 1,422 feet, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, both of which were considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73°F. The total landing distance was 5,004 feet, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 19 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 438 nautical miles and took 137 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6,866 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KMCO Orlando International Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,208 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold. The touchdown speed was maintained at 135 knots, which is considered good for a safe landing. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 128 knots, and the rate of descent was smooth at -111 feet per minute (fpm).
The landing distance of 1,422 feet was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway with perfect alignment. The total landing distance of 5,004 feet was 55% of the runway length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in navigating the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the Airbus A319's landing at KMCO Orlando International Airport was a textbook example of a safe and efficient operation, with all parameters meeting or exceeding the expected standards.
