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 8.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 60 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 60 ft, 15 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 336 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 45 kt FAST on the reference speed of 146 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,919 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,919 m of the 3,981 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 658 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at LBSF Sofia Airport, covering 3 nm in 14 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 27, the aircraft accelerated to a take-off distance of 2,076 m, representing 58 % of the runway, and rotated at 169 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 14 °C, wind 11 kt from 290°, with a 3 kt crosswind and an 11 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead LBSF Sofia Airport, ascending from 2,762 ft asl to 33,489 ft asl-a gain of 30,727 ft-in 22 minutes while covering 146 nm.
The first cruise segment began 9 miles west of Sena in Central Serbia and continued for 47 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 330 nm.
Descent started 1 mile southwest of Radmer an der Stube in Austria, dropping from 33,939 ft asl to 10,261 ft asl, a loss of 23,677 ft in 16 minutes and covering 88 nm.
A brief cruise followed, initiating 2 miles southeast of Halsbach, Bavaria, lasting 2 minutes and spanning 8 nm.
The second descent began 1 mile northwest of Engelsberg, Bavaria, descending from 10,076 ft asl to 2,757 ft asl-a decrease of 7,319 ft-in 10 minutes while traveling 42 nm.
Final approach to runway 26R at EDDM Munich Airport involved a descent from 1,309 ft agl to 38 ft agl in 83 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 26R, which is 3,981 m long, was achieved with a threshold speed of 147 kt. Touchdown occurred 246 m beyond the touchdown zone at 138 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 337 fpm and very good runway alignment. Local weather at the time was temperature -1 °C, wind 1 kt from 160°, crosswind 1 kt and headwind 0 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,841 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that took 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 624 nm, lasted 116 minutes, and consumed 5,339 kg of fuel.
