MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 174 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 155 kt against a target of 174 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 174 kt.
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 138 m past the target, landing at 595 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 35 kt FAST on the reference speed of 134 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,735 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,735 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 595 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Vienna International Airport, the Airbus A321 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 29, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,708-meter-long runway, which represented 49% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,516 feet above sea level to 30,010 feet, a vertical gain of 28,494 feet, in just 14 minutes. The climb phase covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, taking the aircraft over the Austrian countryside. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 30,010 feet for 11 minutes as it traversed 80 nautical miles of terrain. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 29,999 feet to 2,604 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 4 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Venice Marco Polo Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 04R, descending from 4 nautical miles away at an altitude of 1,234 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, 205 meters beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 126 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -128 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,680 meters, representing 51% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 283 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,761 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 60 minutes.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport from the south west was executed with a heading of 42.0° at 4 nm and 1,234 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 61 ft above ground level, which was above the target. The threshold speed of 137 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight increase in power application during the final stages of the approach.
The aircraft touched down 205 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -128 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 25 °C and a wind of 5 kt at 130°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance of 1,680 m was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 94.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency in the approach and landing phases.
