MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 2.6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Stop increasing back pressure once the sink is arrested near 11 ft, holding pitch instead of continuing to rotate.
What happened: You kept adding back pressure through the flare, raising the nose 1.5° and carrying pitch well above this type's normal touchdown attitude - tail strike territory.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal ground attitude at touchdown.
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 1,641 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,641 m of the 3,082 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 817 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A319, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 25, and the aircraft lifted off after covering 53% of the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 153 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots at an angle of 49°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and continued for 16 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,022 feet above sea level to 32,403 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,381 feet. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Montisi, Italy, and lasted for 68 minutes, covering a distance of 449 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile south of Mastershausen, Germany, and lasted for 24 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 33,041 feet above sea level to 1,852 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,188 feet. The descent covered a distance of 113 nautical miles. Following the descent, the aircraft began another enroute level cruise, this time starting 1 mile east of Rotselaar, Belgium, and lasting for just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 25L at Brussels Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 250.0° at an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing took place on a runway with a length of 3,082 meters, and the threshold height was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 131 knots. The touchdown point was 400 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was good at 122 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -233 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at an angle of 0°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,559 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 661 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 128 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,698 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at Brussels Airport (EBBR) on runway 25L, achieving an overall score of 87.8%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,289 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 67 feet agl, which was above the target height. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good approach speed. The touchdown point was located 400 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 122 knots, which was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a slightly higher rate of descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of -2°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory despite the slight deviations in the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,559 meters was 51% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations in the approach and touchdown. However, the aircraft's performance was good, and the crew was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop on the runway.
