MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.2 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.3°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 372 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.2 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 133 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,215 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Göteborg Landvetter Airport (ESGG), the Airbus A319 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. With a takeoff distance of 1,593 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 190°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it traversed a distance of 101 nautical miles in 17 minutes, increasing its altitude from 1,472 feet to 35,482 feet. The climb phase was followed by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude for short periods of time. Notably, the aircraft experienced a significant descent from 35,995 feet to 23,205 feet in 9 minutes, covering 60 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 33 at Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport (EDDH) was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,997 feet to 1,404 feet in 2 minutes.
The aircraft executed a go-around at 17 feet above ground level before successfully landing on runway 33. The touchdown distance of 419 meters was within acceptable limits, with a touchdown speed of 122 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -360 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. Following a taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having covered a total distance of 321 nautical miles and consuming 2,824 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 33 at EDDH Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the approach and landing phases. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 333.0° at 4 nm and 1,352 ft above ground level, with a good approach quality that set the stage for a successful touchdown. The threshold height was well managed, and the threshold speed of 131 kt was achieved, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 419 m, with a touchdown speed of 122 kt that was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -360 fpm was firm, but not excessive, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision and control. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 230°, presented a moderate crosswind component, but the aircraft's handling and control were not compromised.
The rollout phase was characterized by a very good alignment, with the aircraft staying on the centreline throughout. The total landing distance of 1,180 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 94.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
