MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Rotate sooner, bringing the nose up at 154 kt rather than letting speed build further.
What happened: You lifted off at 174 kt against a rotation target of 154 kt, rotating late in the ground roll.
Watch for: Watch airspeed and rotate at the target of 154 kt.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 37 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 37 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 37 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,530 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,715 ft 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, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A321 then departed from runway 16R at ZSPD Shanghai Pudong International Airport. The takeoff distance was 5,838 feet, which accounted for 47% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 174 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 170 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of the airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,044 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 31,607 feet, an increase of 30,563 feet in 19 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 109 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 71 miles east of ZSZS Zhoushan Putuoshan Airport. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 281 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 41 miles north of Jiufen, Taipei, Taiwan, and descended from 31,699 feet to 3,897 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 13 miles north of Jiufen and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Jiufen and took the aircraft from 4,030 feet to 947 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 273.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 920 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 340 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was -167 feet per minute, both of which were considered good.
The total landing distance was 3,295 feet, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft then began taxiing to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 451 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 7,719 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at RCSS Taipei Songshan Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 273.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 920 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 28, which has a length of 8,530 feet.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 137 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown point was 340 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, and the touchdown speed of 127 knots was also within the acceptable range.
The touchdown rate of -167 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 91°F and a light wind of 2 knots at 320°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each.
The total landing distance of 3,295 feet was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in handling the Airbus A321.
