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 19 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

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.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,954 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,613 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at the Denver International Airport, taking 14 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. It was departing from runway 25.
After taking off, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 154 knots and the takeoff distance was 7,324 feet, which was 61% of the runway. The local weather was pleasant, with a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
The enroute climb began 3 miles southwest of the Denver International Airport and took the aircraft from 5,842 feet above sea level to 35,983 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,765 feet, within 16 minutes and covering a distance of 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then maintained a level cruise for a certain period, covering further distances.
The enroute descent from 35,983 feet above sea level to 24,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,965 feet, began 14 miles southeast of Diamondville, Wyoming. The descent took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 67 nautical miles. The enroute cruise then began again, lasting for varying durations.
The subsequent climbs and descents saw the aircraft reach altitudes of 8,524 feet, climb to 8,524 feet within 2 minutes from an altitude of 6,889 feet above sea level, and then descend to 6,445 feet above sea level from 7,998 feet within 3 minutes.
The final approach to runway 28R at the Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field from the south-east, heading 295.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,157 feet above ground level was smooth and precise. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with the touchdown point being 254 feet beyond the touchdown zone and a slightly high touchdown speed at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good and the runway touchdown alignment was precise.
The total landing distance was 3,513 feet, which was 35% of the runway and less than required, indicating successful landing conditions. The runway rollout was also perfectly aligned, which confirmed a well-executed landing. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took just 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Throughout the flight, the total fuel usage was 11,558 pounds and the total distance covered was 563 nautical miles, taken over an elapsed time of 3 hours and 16 minutes.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KBOI Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field, with a performance score of 99.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southeast, aligning itself perfectly with the destination at a heading of 295.0°, approximately 4 nautical miles away from the airport. At an altitude of 1,157 feet above ground level, the aircraft was navigating an ideal final approach path, ensuring a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing on runway 28R, the crew achieved a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in determining the overall safety and success of the landing. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 135 kt, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal performance. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 128 kt, which was a little fast but not significantly above the recommended threshold.
Although the touchdown speed was higher than expected, the touchdown rate was still within acceptable limits, measuring -200 feet per minute. This suggests that the aircraft's descent was controlled and gradual, allowing for a relatively smooth landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, ensuring that the aircraft remained centred and stable after touchdown.
Weather conditions at the time of the landing were favourable, with a temperature of 71°F, contributing to a smoother landing experience. The total landing distance of 3,513 feet, which is equivalent to 35% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This means that the aircraft took up a significant portion of the runway to come to a complete stop, leaving sufficient space for deceleration and stopping.
Upon completing the landing, the crew was able to roll out safely and smoothly, with perfect runway rollout alignment. This was likely achieved through precise control and coordination of the aircraft's brakes and spoilers, allowing the aircraft to come to a complete stop in a controlled and stable manner. Overall, the landing was successful and demonstrated a high level of piloting skill and expertise.
