MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth aileron to roll the wings level in the first climb segment, holding bank angle near wings-level instead of letting it build to 2.7°.
What happened: The wings held 2.7° of bank through the first climb segment and had drifted to 2.6° by the second - this early wing-level drift usually carries through into a larger bank excursion later in the climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator's bank pointer and keep it at wings level throughout the climb.
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare ballooned, with 186 fpm of sink returning after the arrest; a balloon like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, as it did here at 578 fpm.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
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 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,245 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 559 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 24R at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 925 meters, which is 32% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport. The climb started from an altitude of 1,032 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 9,268 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,236 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile north of Teia, where the aircraft descended from 8,607 feet above sea level to 5,739 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,868 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 2 miles west of Vallgorguina, lasting for 5 minutes and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles.
The final descent started overhead Salt, where the aircraft descended from 5,602 feet above sea level to 1,774 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,828 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 19 at LEGE Girona-Costa Brava Airport from the north, heading 197.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,329 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 at LEGE Girona-Costa Brava Airport was completed with a runway length of 2,245 meters. The threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 153 knots. The touchdown point was 151 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -742 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,176 meters, which is 52% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 59 nautical miles, taking 22 minutes, and the aircraft used 20 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Girona-Costa Brava Airport, achieving a score of 89.7%. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with a heading of 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 151 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 145 knots was faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have applied the brakes a bit too late. The touchdown rate of -742 feet per minute (fpm) was also very heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have been subjected to a significant amount of deceleration force upon touchdown.
Despite the slightly off-target touchdown point and high touchdown speed, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, and no crosswind or headwind.
The total landing distance of 1,176 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely.
Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the off-target touchdown point and high touchdown speed, the pilot's overall performance was satisfactory, and the aircraft landed safely and efficiently.
