MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 30 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 485 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 252 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,537 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,685 ft 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 25 at KDEN Denver International Airport. The takeoff distance was 7,383 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of KDEN, it began its enroute climb 3 miles west of the airport. The climb started at an altitude of 6,170 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,612 feet, an increase of 31,442 feet. This climb phase took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 152 nautical miles. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were hot, with a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles north of Parachute, Colorado. This phase lasted for 78 minutes and covered a distance of 512 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 14 miles northeast of June Lake, California. The descent started at an altitude of 37,981 feet and ended at an altitude of 1,250 feet, a decrease of 36,731 feet. This descent phase took 41 minutes and covered a distance of 167 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28R at KSFO San Francisco International Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 298.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were cooler, with a temperature of 56 degrees Fahrenheit.
The aircraft landed on runway 28R, which had a length of 11,537 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 1,249 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 13 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 839 nautical miles, and the total flight time was 158 minutes. The aircraft used 12,367 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) with a score of 91.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 298.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 136 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 1,249 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 119 knots was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively.
The touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed fair, which may indicate a slightly steeper descent than desired. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 56°F, which is relatively mild. The total landing distance of 3,845 feet was 33% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's deceleration effectively. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
