MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 772 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,917 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,917 m of the 4,007 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 448 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from its parking position to runway 27L at London Heathrow (EGLL) in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nm.
Take-off was executed on runway 27L at EGLL, with the aircraft accelerating over a take-off distance of 2,058 m (57 % of the runway) and rotating at 168 kt. Ambient conditions were 22 °C temperature, wind 5 kt from 200°, providing a 2 kt headwind and a 4 kt cross-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile south of Harmondsworth, lifting the aircraft from 1,045 ft asl to 5,998 ft asl - a gain of 4,954 ft - in 3 minutes while covering 14 nm.
A short cruise segment followed overhead Chalfont Saint Peter, lasting 3 minutes and extending 17 nm.
The next climb segment started over Newgate Street, raising the aircraft from 6,002 ft asl to 32,720 ft asl, an increase of 26,718 ft achieved in 30 minutes over 240 nm.
Cruising thereafter over Doetinchem lasted 79 minutes and spanned 705 nm.
A subsequent climb commenced 1 mile east of Soimi, climbing from 33,628 ft asl to 34,851 ft asl - a rise of 1,223 ft - in 2 minutes while traversing 14 nm.
The aircraft then cruised over Stei for 164 minutes, covering 1,380 nm.
A further climb began 40 miles south-east of Neft Daslari, increasing altitude from 35,001 ft asl to 36,710 ft asl (1,709 ft) in 3 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The following cruise segment was over an area 54 miles south-west of Turkmenbasy, lasting 177 minutes and encompassing 1,557 nm.
Climbing again overhead VIAG Agra Airport, the aircraft rose from 37,062 ft asl to 38,872 ft asl - a gain of 1,811 ft - in 3 minutes across 30 nm.
A long cruise then proceeded 5 miles north-west of Porsa, lasting 242 minutes and covering 2,054 nm.
Descent commenced 3 miles south-west of Muar, with the aircraft descending from 38,249 ft asl to 1,558 ft asl, a loss of 36,691 ft, in 24 minutes while covering 128 nm.
During final approach to runway 02L at Singapore Changi (WSSS), the aircraft descended from 1,583 ft agl to 330 ft agl in 102 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 02L was performed with a runway length of 4,007 m; the threshold speed was 136 kt, touchdown occurred 447 m down the runway at 131 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 288 fpm. The touchdown point was 4.3 m off the centreline. Local weather reported 33 °C temperature, wind 3 kt from 39°, giving a 3 kt headwind and 1 kt cross-wind. Total landing distance was 1,838 m (46 % of the runway).
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
In total, the flight covered 6,173 nm, required 739 minutes, and consumed 80,152 kg of fuel.
