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 0 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 15 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 102 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,632 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.4° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,722 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,722 m of the 2,691 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 301 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Stuttgart Airport, runway 25, the Airbus A380 began its journey with a 43-minute taxiing period, covering less than 1 nautical mile. At 31°C and with a local wind of 10 kt at 290°, the aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 158 kt, utilizing 40% of the 1,320-meter runway. The initial climb phase started 1 mile southeast of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, where the aircraft ascended from 2,254 ft to 36,000 ft in 18 minutes, covering 116 nautical miles.
Throughout the enroute phase, the aircraft underwent multiple climb and descent phases, with notable increases in altitude at Kappl, Austria (from 35,998 ft to 46,908 ft in 16 minutes), and a significant descent from 46,987 ft to 36,986 ft in 5 minutes over LIYH Campo di Volo Cianpioppo Sabbioneta, Italy. The aircraft also experienced a notable climb from 36,474 ft to 46,408 ft in 18 minutes, 5 miles northeast of Torriglia, Italy. The final descent phase began 9 miles east of Santa-Lucia-di-Moriani, France, where the aircraft descended from 47,107 ft to 15,000 ft in 14 minutes, covering 93 nautical miles.
The Airbus A380 landed on runway 24L at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport, with a touchdown distance of 300 meters and a speed of 150 kt. The touchdown rate was fair at -273 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,644 meters, 61% of the 2,691-meter runway. Following a 1-minute taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 902 nautical miles and utilizing 64,751 kg of fuel throughout the flight, which lasted 146 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 24L at LEBL Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the threshold speed of 149 kt was significantly above the target, suggesting a slightly aggressive approach. The touchdown distance of 300 m was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 150 kt was faster than desired, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -273 fpm.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29 °C and wind at 15 kt from 210 °, resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 12 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, with the aircraft maintaining a stable approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,644 m, which accounted for 61% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 103.2 m from the centreline, indicating a loss of control during the rollout phase. Despite this, the overall score for the landing was 85.5%, reflecting a good performance with some areas for improvement.
