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 15 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 5,063 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,063 ft of the 7,946 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,321 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 28 at Cherry Capital Airport (KTVC), with a takeoff distance of 4,020 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 137 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 61°F temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 290°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Traverse City, Michigan, and the aircraft ascended from 1,656 feet above sea level to 33,923 feet, an increase of 32,267 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 79 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles north west of the 42N Double JJ Resort Ranch Airport in Rothbury, Michigan. This phase of the flight lasted 2 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 8 miles west of Montague, Michigan, and the aircraft descended from 34,181 feet to 3,898 feet, a decrease of 30,283 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 114 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile west of South Elgin, Illinois, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The enroute descent started overhead Bartlett, Illinois, and the aircraft descended from 3,913 feet to 1,976 feet, a decrease of 1,937 feet in 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09R at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (KORD) was made from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,303 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 09R, which had a length of 7,946 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 135 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 1,320 feet, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 128 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 57°F temperature and a wind speed of 8 knots at 350°, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 4,802 feet, accounting for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxiied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 224 nautical miles, taking 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,702 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 09R at KORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport, achieving a high score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 88.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,303 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's final approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 1,320 feet, which is within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 128 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force upon touchdown. The touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 57°F and a gentle wind of 8 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 4,802 feet was 60% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, despite a few minor issues with the touchdown speed and runway alignment.
