Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,998 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 161 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Newark Liberty International Airport, taking 21 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 22R, with a takeoff distance of 3,852 feet, which was 55% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°F temperature and a 4-knot wind at 301°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 0 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile east of Elizabeth, New Jersey, where the aircraft climbed from 1,081 feet above sea level to 6,008 feet, an increase of 4,927 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile east of South Plainfield, New Jersey, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. Another climb phase began 1 mile northwest of Middlesex, New Jersey, where the aircraft climbed from 6,003 feet to 15,840 feet, an increase of 9,837 feet in 5 minutes, covering 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued to climb, starting 1 mile northeast of West Norriton, Pennsylvania, where it climbed from 16,034 feet to 37,715 feet, an increase of 21,681 feet in 18 minutes, covering 109 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile northwest of Rosslyn, Virginia, and lasting 38 minutes, covering 243 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 2 miles southeast of Mocksville, North Carolina, where it descended from 38,014 feet to 4,164 feet, a decrease of 33,849 feet in 30 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Five Forks, South Carolina, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile south of Mauldin, South Carolina, where the aircraft descended from 3,632 feet to 2,880 feet, a decrease of 752 feet in 2 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southeast of Greenville, South Carolina, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04 at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 32.0°, 4 nautical miles from the runway, and 1,324 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 137 knots, a touchdown distance of 165 feet, and a touchdown rate of -662 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 2,859 feet, which was 26% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 539 nautical miles, taking 124 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,028 pounds of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Greenville Spartanburg International Airport (KGSP) with a score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 32.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,324 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 04, which has a length of 10,998 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 165 feet was also good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway.
However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -662 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the aircraft was touching down slightly too aggressively. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 36°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 359°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 3 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 2,859 feet was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance.
