MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Raise the nose further in the flare and keep the back pressure coming to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare only raised the nose a little and left most of the sink in, so the aircraft was flown onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown rather than a smooth one.
Watch for: Watch pitch attitude and VSI through the flare, arresting the sink before touchdown rather than letting it fly on at 135 kt.
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. 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 3,589 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 153 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LIEA Alghero-Fertilia Airport in 5 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft used a take-off distance of 1,634 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and lifted off at 152 kt. Ambient conditions were 38 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 10°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind component.
The initial climb began 1 mile north-east of LIEA, climbing from 1,093 ft asl to 38,016 ft asl - an increase of 36,924 ft - over 20 minutes while covering 135 nm.
Level cruise commenced 18 miles north-west of L’Ile-Rousse (Corse, France) and continued for 78 minutes, during which 603 nm were flown.
A second climb segment started 3 miles north of Bergen (Lower Saxony, Germany), raising the aircraft from 37,506 ft asl to 38,403 ft asl, an increase of 897 ft in 2 minutes and covering 13 nm.
The next cruise phase began 1 mile north of Bispingen (Lower Saxony, Germany) and lasted 40 minutes, during which 320 nm were traversed.
Descent phase one originated 3 miles south-east of Brastad (Västra Götaland County, Sweden), descending from 37,854 ft asl to 9,176 ft asl - a loss of 28,679 ft - in 16 minutes while covering 107 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 6 miles south-west of Kongsvinger (Innlandet, Norway), lasting 2 minutes and spanning 8 nm.
Descent phase two began 2 miles south-west of ENKN Gjølstad Airfield Kongsvinger, dropping from 8,760 ft asl to 1,783 ft asl, a decrease of 6,977 ft in 10 minutes and covering 38 nm.
The final approach to runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen was executed from the north on a heading of 196.0°, at 4 nm and 1,100 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19R, whose length is 3,595 m, occurred with a threshold height of 67 ft agl above target and a threshold speed of 134 kt. Touchdown was recorded 319 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 kt; the touchdown rate was heavy at minus 606 fpm and the aircraft was laterally offset by 6.7 m from the centreline. Local weather reported 23 °C, wind 7 kt from 159°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind. Total landing distance measured 1,500 m, representing 42 % of the runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
After rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,232 nm, required 177 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 6,379 kg of fuel.
The H500C touched down at London Gatwick Airport with a speed of 16 kt and a vertical rate of 0 fpm. The aircraft made contact before the runway threshold. Ambient temperature was 28 °C, wind was 5 kt from 79°, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind.
With a score of 64.3%, concentrating on achieving the standard aim point about 300 m (1,000 ft) in from the threshold will raise the rating; a slightly later flare to avoid early touchdown is recommended. Maintaining the target speed while ensuring the aircraft reaches the aim point will further improve performance.
