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 26 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 35 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 35 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 35 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 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 1,913 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,913 m of the 3,639 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 25R at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH). The takeoff distance was 1,037 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles west of VHHH. The climb started from an altitude of 1,046 feet above sea level and reached a height of 3,849 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,803 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles during this climb phase.
The enroute level cruise phase began 2 miles southwest of Tai O, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles in 7 minutes. This phase of the flight was relatively smooth, with no significant changes in altitude or airspeed.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent overhead Hong Kong. The descent started from an altitude of 4,018 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,044 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,974 feet in 4 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 10 nautical miles during this descent phase.
The final approach to runway 25L at VHHH was made from the east, with a heading of 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,006 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 25L, which has a length of 3,639 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 133 knots.
The touchdown point was 279 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°.
The total landing distance was 1,828 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 19 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 43 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used 715 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Hong Kong International Airport (VHHH) on runway 25L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 251.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,006 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and the results showed a high level of proficiency.
The threshold height at 78 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and maintain a safe distance from the runway. The threshold speed of 133 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a steady speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 279 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, considering the runway length of 3,639 meters.
The touchdown speed of 125 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a relatively stable descent during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach. The total landing distance of 1,828 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The score of 86.9% reflects the aircraft's performance during the landing, with some minor deviations from the target values.
