MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 25 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 25 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 25 ft to touchdown.
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 1,644 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,644 m of the 3,986 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 702 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 19R at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,406 meters, which was 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots at 30°.
As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from 1,153 feet above sea level to 36,502 feet, an increase of 35,349 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The enroute climb began 1 mile east of Maersta in Stockholm County, Sweden. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south of Vena in Kalmar, Sweden, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 192 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 21 miles northwest of Dziwnow in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland, where the aircraft descended from 36,935 feet above sea level to 5,784 feet, a decrease of 31,151 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles east of Muencheberg in Brandenburg, Germany, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 1 mile south of EDCE Müncheberg-Eggersdorf Airfield in Müncheberg, Germany, where the aircraft descended from 5,778 feet above sea level to 1,485 feet, a decrease of 4,293 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 249.0° and at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down 282 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above target at 142 knots, but the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 240°.
The total landing distance was 1,559 meters, which was 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 476 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes, with the aircraft using 4,213 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed on runway 24L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 249.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in terms of threshold height, which was above the target at 61 feet agl.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 131 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -173 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating precise control and navigation skills.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 16 knots at 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 15 knots, which likely contributed to the slightly above-target threshold speed. The total landing distance was 1,559 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and navigation skills. However, there were some minor deviations from the target values, particularly in terms of threshold height and touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the score of 91.8% indicates a high level of proficiency and a safe landing.
