Flight Score
Work on the flare
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.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 325 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28 at EGYP Mount Pleasant Airport, a small airport located in the Falkland Islands. The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,071 meters, which was 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the aircraft climbed to a height of 34,940 feet above sea level in just 13 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 496 minutes and covered a distance of 3,327 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 34,457 feet to 32,502 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 204 minutes and covered a distance of 1,486 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent again, this time from 34,069 feet to 16,638 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 55 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for just 2 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent once more, this time from 16,551 feet to 4,074 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. It then began its descent again, this time from 3,899 feet to 1,307 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at YMHB Hobart International Airport, a major airport located in Tasmania, Australia.
The final approach was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 135.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 12, which was 2,606 meters long, with a good threshold height. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed at 149 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 324 meters. However, the touchdown speed was fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -711 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from 329 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the tailwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,093 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 5,013 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 749 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 14,106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at YMHB Hobart International Airport, achieving a score of 93.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 135.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 12, which has a length of 2,606 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 149 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 324 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 149 knots was deemed fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing.
The rate of descent at touchdown was very heavy, at -711 feet per minute (fpm), which is a significant deceleration. This may have been due to the aircraft's high speed at touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 329°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 1,093 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 93.3%. However, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate of descent.
