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 8.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 75 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 75 ft, 30 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 141 kt with 10.0° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 985 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,049 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,130 fpm on average to 985 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 3,602 m runway.
Rolled from 131 m in, drifted left of the centreline, 9 m at the widest, and lifted off 9.3 m left, in 6 kn of crosswind from the left. Airborne 33 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: gear still up and speed more than 32 kt above the approach speed of 126 kt.
When the approach was stable
Every check met from 2.1 to 0.3 nm, then not again: fast from 0.3 nm to the threshold.
Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.
The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 1° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 50 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 21× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 18 m off the centreline.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 32 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 19 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.
Fast from 4 nm to 2.1 nm (up to +56 kt), then inside the band to 0.3 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +14 kt).
Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
Very poor landing flare
9 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 128 kt. Touched down with 4° of it still on, wings level.
Wind 250° at 25 kt · 23 kt head · 9 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 102 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 34 s, an average deceleration of 0.11 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 46 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 690 m in, 385 m past the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 460 fpm at 44 ft to 160 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.9° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,189 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 11 m left of the centreline and drifted to 16 m left on the rollout.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
Touched down 690 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 area to the runway at LOWW Vienna International Airport, taking 11 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 34, with a takeoff distance of 1,191 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Vienna, it encountered local weather conditions of 2°C temperature and winds of 14 knots at 198 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, while the tailwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb started overhead the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,669 feet above sea level to 9,268 feet above sea level, an increase of 7,599 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 2 miles north of Wolkersdorf im Weinviertel, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles. However, the aircraft soon began another climb, this time from 9,278 feet above sea level to 35,887 feet above sea level, an increase of 26,609 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 81 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise resumed 3 miles south of Zimutice, lasting 26 minutes and covering 160 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 35,563 feet above sea level to 1,432 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,131 feet in 30 minutes, covering a distance of 116 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27R at EDDV Hannover Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,248 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 27R, which was 3,189 meters long. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown point was 265 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 128 knots and a touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute, both of which were good. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.6 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 2°C temperature and winds of 25 knots at 250 degrees, with a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The total landing distance was 1,210 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 393 nautical miles, taking 95 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,604 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
