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 5.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 84 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 84 ft, 39 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,818 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,818 m of the 3,894 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 03L at the Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, also known as LGAV. The takeoff distance was 1,836 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 132 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 384 meters above sea level to 10,812 meters above sea level, an increase of 10,428 meters, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles west of Katafygio in Western Greece. This phase lasted for 53 minutes and covered a distance of 369 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile east of Castelvenere in Campania, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 10,960 meters above sea level to 1,219 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,742 meters, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Trevignano Romano in Lazio, Italy. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started overhead Bracciano in Lazio, Italy. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,051 meters above sea level to 389 meters above sea level, a decrease of 662 meters, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 16L at the Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport was made from the north, heading 163.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 382.9 meters above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 61 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was good, while the touchdown rate was fair at -1.2 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 137 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 1,734 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 619 nautical miles, which was covered in 116 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,354 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as an A21N, successfully landed at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport on runway 16L. The final approach was executed from the north, with a heading of 163.0° at an altitude of 382.9 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 61 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -1.2 meters per second, indicating a slightly steeper descent than ideal. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a gentle headwind of 4 knots. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, and the wind direction was 137°. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance was 1,734 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with a high score of 99.6%. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the pilot's skills were evident in the smooth and controlled landing.
