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 7.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,681 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,681 m of the 3,351 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 279 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 KBUR Hollywood Burbank Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 15, with the aircraft using 72% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff. The takeoff distance was 1,233 meters, and the liftoff speed was 148 knots.
As the aircraft climbed into the air, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind at 180°. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile east of North Hollywood, California, and continued to an altitude of 38,183 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,535 feet in 19 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 119 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 12 miles northeast of Coachella, California. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 151 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles southeast of the 56AZ Mauldin Airstrip Tonopah, Arizona, and continued to an altitude of 3,859 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,433 feet in 22 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 11L at KTUS Tucson International Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level. However, a go-around was initiated at an altitude of 860 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 11L, which had a length of 3,351 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 281 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 126 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -481 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 36°C temperature and an 8-knot wind at 226°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,600 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking area took approximately 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 405 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 85 minutes. The aircraft used 3,157 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 successfully landed at KTUS Tucson International Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the northwest, heading 134.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,271 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly faster touchdown speed of 126 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 281 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown rate was hard at -481 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was experiencing a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown. This could be a result of the aircraft being slightly above the target speed or the pilots not fully extending the landing gear and flaps.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind component of 8 knots. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 36°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 226°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance of 1,600 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown distance and rollout alignment. However, the hard touchdown rate and slightly misaligned touchdown position may indicate areas for improvement in the pilots' technique and aircraft configuration.
