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 6.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 5.3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 246 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,282 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 233 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCEL), the Airbus A321 began its journey on runway 17R, taking off with a distance of 1,994 meters, utilizing 52% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 164 knots, with a local temperature of 27°C and a wind of 10 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it traversed a distance of 143 nautical miles in 16 minutes, reaching an altitude of 33,899 feet above sea level. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 3 minutes and covering 53 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 35,959 feet above sea level, before entering a prolonged level cruise phase that lasted 199 minutes and covered 607 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes and speeds, with a notable climb phase from 34,000 feet to 36,000 feet above sea level, covering 49 nautical miles in 3 minutes. The final level cruise phase lasted 389 minutes and covered 4,723 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Melbourne International Airport (YMML), it began its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,577 feet above sea level to 2,843 feet above sea level in 33 minutes, covering 157 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 27, before executing a go-around due to unknown reasons. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 27, with a touchdown distance of 232 meters and a touchdown speed of 116 knots. The total landing distance was 860 meters, utilizing 38% of the available runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 6,248 nautical miles, utilizing 19,572 kilograms of fuel and taking a total of 408 minutes to complete the journey.
The final approach to runway 27 at YMML Melbourne International Airport was executed from the east, heading 275.0° at 4 nm and 1,799 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 120 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 232 m and a touchdown speed of 116 kt, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was firm at -400 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and wind at 18 kt from 330°, resulted in a crosswind of 15 kt and a headwind of 10 kt.
The total landing distance of 860 m, which accounted for 38% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.2 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal path. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, with a score of 93.7% achieved.
