Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 4.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,046 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,046 m of the 3,669 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 682 m past the threshold — beyond 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 05R at the KIND Indianapolis International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 2,053 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 172 knots.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of the KIND Indianapolis International Airport. The climb took 19 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,719 feet above sea level to 36,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,285 feet. The climb covered a distance of 110 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles southwest of Sullivan, Illinois. This phase lasted for 93 minutes and covered a distance of 635 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 10 miles southwest of Holyoke, Colorado. The descent took 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,856 feet above sea level to 11,036 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,821 feet. The descent covered a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southwest of the 7CO5 Yocam Ranch Airport in Orchard, Colorado. This phase lasted for 6 minutes and covered a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles northeast of the 18V Platte Valley Hudson Airport in Colorado. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 10,891 feet above sea level to 6,679 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,211 feet. The descent covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to the runway was made from the north, heading 181.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,288 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 17R at the KDEN Denver International Airport, which had a length of 3,669 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots.
The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -123 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.
The total landing distance was 1,972 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 869 nautical miles and took 151 minutes. The aircraft used 5,233 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport, achieving a score of 92.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 181.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,288 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 130 knots, registering at 130 kt. This indicates that the pilots managed to maintain control and slow down the aircraft effectively. The touchdown point was located 273 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 125 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -123 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a similar issue.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C. The total landing distance of 1,972 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient landing. Overall, the Airbus A320's landing on runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport was successful, with some minor deviations that did not significantly impact the safety or efficiency of the landing.
