MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 4.7 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 6.9°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 312 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 155 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,767 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,767 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,099 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 10R at Dublin Airport (EIDW), with a takeoff distance of 1,796 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile north west of Darndale, in the Leinster region of Ireland. The climb took 24 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,133 feet above sea level to 35,980 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,847 feet. This climb covered a distance of 155 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at this time were characterized by a temperature of 15°C.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 37 miles north west of Ballyliffin, in the Ulster region of Ireland. This phase lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 520 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 61 miles south of Vik i Myrdal, in the Sudurland region of Iceland. The descent took 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 35,978 feet above sea level to 1,429 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,549 feet. This descent covered a distance of 132 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 01 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) was made from the south, with a heading of 360.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,044 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 141 knots.
The touchdown point was 683 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at this time were characterized by a temperature of 14°C.
The total landing distance was 2,686 meters, which accounted for 88% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 816 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 133 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,954 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 01. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 360.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 141 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was located 683 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 121 knots was also deemed good, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 7.5 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C.
The total landing distance of 2,686 meters was 88% of the runway length, which is a relatively efficient use of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good performance and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
