MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 9.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
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
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,544 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,544 m of the 2,812 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 523 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 25 at EGGW London Luton Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,387 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 330 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of Luton, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,874 feet above sea level. This was an increase of 33,454 feet from the initial altitude of 1,420 feet above sea level, achieved in just 22 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 133 nautical miles during this climb phase.
The enroute level cruise phase started 37 miles northwest of Nieuw-Haamstede, a town in the Provincie Zeeland region of the Netherlands. This phase lasted for 196 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,531 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase. The first descent started 38 miles southeast of Cirali, a town in the Antalya region of Turkey. The aircraft descended from 35,697 feet above sea level to 31,407 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,289 feet, in just 5 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 30 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 62 miles west of Polis, a town in the Paphos District of Cyprus. This phase lasted for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The next descent phase started 62 miles west of Polis, and the aircraft descended from 31,395 feet above sea level to 4,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,396 feet, in 20 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 122 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Voroklini, a town in the Eparchia Larnakas region of Cyprus. This phase lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final descent phase started 2 miles southeast of Voroklini, and the aircraft descended from 4,859 feet above sea level to 997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,862 feet, in just 4 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 22 at LCLK Larnaca International Airport, approaching from the northeast. The aircraft was at an altitude of 982 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The aircraft landed on runway 22 at Larnaca International Airport, which had a length of 2,812 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 141 knots. The touchdown point was 174 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 133 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -162 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots from 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,531 meters, which was 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Larnaca International Airport (LCLK) on runway 22, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 982 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 141 kt, which may have been due to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot decision-making. The touchdown point was 174 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 133 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum and the pilot's decision to touch down at that speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 8 kt at 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 8 kt, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance of 1,531 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with good precision and control, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a relatively short distance.
