MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 64 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 64 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 659 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,947 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,947 m of the 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 659 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 26R, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 2,249-meter-long runway, which represented 56% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 168 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from Munich, it began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 2,214 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 36,447 feet, a vertical gain of 34,233 feet over a distance of 140 nautical miles in 20 minutes. The climb phase was followed by an 18-minute level cruise, during which the aircraft flew at a steady altitude, covering a distance of 143 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began over Pieve Santo Stefano, Italy, where the aircraft started its gradual descent from 36,993 feet to 1,292 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,701 feet over a distance of 113 nautical miles in 20 minutes.
As the aircraft approached Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (LIRF), it initiated its final approach to runway 16L, aligning itself with the runway from the north at a heading of 163.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, slightly above the target speed. The landing distance of 1,870 meters, representing 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey in 72 minutes and covering a total distance of 408 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 2,684 kilograms.
The aircraft, an Airbus A320, commenced its final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport from the north, aligning with the runway at a heading of 163.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 64 feet above ground level, which was slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed of 138 knots was within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 133 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control and coordination during the landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 280°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,870 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 91.3%, reflecting a satisfactory outcome despite some minor deviations from the ideal.
