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 27 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 5.9° with no reversals.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,948 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 817 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at OLBA Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. Departure roll took place on runway 21, with a takeoff distance of 416 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 20°C and winds of 10 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 7 knots, and the tailwind was also 7 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,130 feet above sea level to 35,680 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,550 feet in 16 minutes and covering 101 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 11 miles southeast of Protaras, Cyprus. This phase of the flight lasted 68 minutes and covered 570 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southwest of Horasan, Turkey, and descending from 36,027 feet above sea level to 23,977 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,050 feet in 5 minutes and covering 45 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 4 miles south of Kagizman, Turkey, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 26 nautical miles. The descent phase started 8 miles west of UGSE Hoktember Highway Strip Shenavan, Armenia, and the aircraft descended from 23,886 feet above sea level to 7,018 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,868 feet in 8 minutes and covering 49 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile southeast of Margara, Armenia, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The descent phase started overhead Nor Armavir, Armenia, and the aircraft descended from 6,946 feet above sea level to 5,113 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,833 feet in 3 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northwest of Arshaluys, Armenia, and lasting 15 minutes, covering 43 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 09 at UDYZ Zvartnots International Airport was made from the west, heading 89.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,438 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 09, with a runway length of 3,948 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots. The touchdown point was 400 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots and a touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute, both of which were good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3°C and winds of 3 knots at 40°. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was also 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,373 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiing to the parking from the runway took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 866 nautical miles, taking 132 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,866 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Zvartnots International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 89.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,438 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 09, which has a length of 3,948 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft's performance was evaluated, and it was noted that the threshold height was well above the target, indicating a good margin of safety. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 132 knots, which may require some adjustments in the approach configuration. The touchdown point was 400 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -181 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a controlled descent and a smooth landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and stable landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 3°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 40°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
The total landing distance of 1,373 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and efficient landing. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop without any issues. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-documented in this evaluation.
