MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.
What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 654 m against the 457 m aim point.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,881 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 654 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the threshold of runway 12, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,679-meter runway, which represented 56% of its total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 145 knots, clearing the ground with ease.
As the aircraft climbed away from Belgrade, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,333 feet above sea level to 37,990 feet in 42 minutes, covering a distance of 313 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 37,997 feet for 43 minutes as it traversed 318 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 1 mile north of Hautevelle, France, and lasted 27 minutes, covering 172 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 37,997 feet to 3,006 feet, a decrease of 34,991 feet, before entering a brief level cruise phase near Favieres, France.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Paris-Orly Airport, it initiated its final descent, which began 1 mile south of La Queue-en-Brie, France. The aircraft descended from 2,891 feet to 1,576 feet in just 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 was executed from the east, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 245 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 127 knots. The total landing distance was 1,170 meters, representing 41% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 822 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 6,001 kilograms of fuel during the 2-hour and 2-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 25 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport with a score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, aligning with the heading of 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,282 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down, it was slightly above the target threshold speed of 141 kt, registering 142 kt. The touchdown point was located 245 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 127 kt was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a 6 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,170 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a satisfactory rollout performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
