MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 9.2 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 152 m gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,596 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 236 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EBOS Oostende-Brugge International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey on runway 08, taking off with a distance of 1,391 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 163 knots, with a local temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into a steady enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 11,269 meters above sea level in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles.
The enroute climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started approximately 1 mile south east of Blankenheim, Germany. The aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 11,276 meters for 33 minutes, covering a distance of 252 nautical miles. The crew then initiated a descent, reducing the altitude to 10,664 meters in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend, with multiple level cruise phases and descents, navigating through the skies over Germany and Austria. The final approach to runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft descending from 554 meters above ground level to touch down on the runway.
The Airbus A320 landed on runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 240 meters and a speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.3 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,426 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway. After a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 569 nautical miles, taking 97 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,982 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 16 at LOWW Vienna International Airport was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 164.0° at 4 nm and 370.5 meters above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed of 132 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 131 knots was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -1.3 meters per second. The touchdown distance of 240 meters was good, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 8°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,426 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the braking or taxiing phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 96.6% indicating a high level of proficiency.
