MY FS FLIGHTS
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 5.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 119 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 32 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 181 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 119 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,187 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 549 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at LECO A Coruña Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 816 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 164 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 209°. This resulted in a headwind of 11 knots, but no crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1,388 feet above sea level (asl) to 2,502 ft asl. This increase of 1,114 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb took place overhead Culleredo in Galicia, Spain.
Later in the flight, the aircraft started its enroute descent from 2,464 ft asl to 798 ft asl. This decrease of 1,665 feet was also achieved in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent began 1 mile east of Cambre in Galicia, Spain.
The final approach to runway 21 at LECO A Coruña Airport was made from the north-east, with a heading of 212.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 481 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was successful, with the touchdown point located 548 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 111 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was firm at -328 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a headwind of 12 knots, but no crosswind.
The total landing distance was 1,459 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6,855 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LECO A Coruña Airport, achieving a high score of 92.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 212.0° at 1 nautical mile and 481 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed on runway 21, which has a length of 2,187 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 117 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 548 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but still within the acceptable range.
The touchdown speed of 111 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -328 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, showing that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12°C and a headwind of 12 knots at 210°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,459 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
