MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 6.4 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 8.5 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 305 m and 152 m 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 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 544 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 27, taking off with a distance of 1,587 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, overcoming a headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 4 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 335 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it traversed a significant altitude increase of 11,213.7 meters in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 108 nautical miles. The climb phase was punctuated by several level cruise segments, with the aircraft maintaining a steady altitude and speed. Notably, the second descent phase, which began 1 mile south east of Bertrange, Luxembourg, saw the aircraft descend by 9,755.6 meters in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 130 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25R at Frankfurt Airport was executed from the east, with the aircraft touching down 132 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 118 knots.
The landing distance of 1,026 meters accounted for 37% of the runway length, with the aircraft experiencing a slightly misaligned touchdown position and a runway rollout alignment deviation of 8.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance of 657 nautical miles was completed in 115 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3,940 kilograms of fuel. The taxiing phase from the runway to the parking area took 11 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. Overall, the flight demonstrated a smooth and efficient progression through its various phases, with the aircraft performing well within its operational parameters.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport from the east, heading 250.0° at 4 nm and 403.3 m agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase, with a steady rate of descent and a consistent airspeed. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the flare phase.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed was good at 125 kt, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 118 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly longer rollout distance. The touchdown rate of -1.0 m/s was good, indicating a controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 m from centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path.
The total landing distance of 1,026 m was 37% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.9 m from centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the rollout phase. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was good, with a score of 96.0%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind of 8 kt at 187°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing performance.
