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 5.8 m 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 once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 381 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 364 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 876 m past the threshold — beyond 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 London Heathrow Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27L, with a takeoff distance of 1,730 meters, which was 52% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 163 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 14°C temperature and 18 knots of wind at 240 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of Colnbrook, England, and the aircraft climbed from 1,132 feet above sea level to 33,126 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,994 feet in 16 minutes, covering 104 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles north west of Etretat, France, and lasted 76 minutes, covering 554 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 30 miles south of Castelldefels, Spain, and descended from 34,398 feet above sea level to 2,442 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,956 feet in 12 minutes, covering 91 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 17 miles south west of Camp de Mar, Spain, and lasted 18 minutes, covering 57 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 2 miles south east of Santa Eularia des Riu, Spain, and descended from 2,425 feet above sea level to 1,308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,116 feet in 3 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at Ibiza Airport was from the north east, heading 242.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,282 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with the touchdown point being 438 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was firm at -310 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at Ibiza Airport were 17°C temperature and 12 knots of wind at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 9 knots, and the headwind was 7 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,387 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The flight ended with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area from the runway, taking approximately 2 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 819 nautical miles, taking 123 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,166 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LEIB Ibiza Airport, achieving a score of 87.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 242.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 24, which has a length of 2,794 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 438 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -310 feet per minute (fpm) was firm but not excessive. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 190°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,387 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown point and runway alignment.
