MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 498 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 257 m past the target, landing at 714 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,882 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 714 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking to the runway for 6 minutes, covering 2 nm, and departed runway 26 at EGJJ Jersey Airport. Take-off used 1,037 m (64 % of the runway) with rotation at 134 kt. Local weather was 15 °C, wind 15 kt from 250° (crosswind 3 kt, headwind 15 kt).
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 14 seconds, averaging 2,224 fpm and reaching 154 kt at the top. The climb continued from 1,039 ft asl to 22,998 ft asl in 9 minutes, covering 47 nm, starting overhead EGJJ Jersey Airport Saint Helier. Level flight at 23,000 ft asl lasted 2 minutes, covering 11 nm, beginning 10 nm north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux.
Descent from 22,998 ft asl to 4,098 ft asl took 12 minutes, covering 66 nm, starting 18 nm north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux. Level flight at 4,000 ft asl continued for 8 minutes, covering 33 nm, starting overhead Barnham. A further descent from 3,999 ft asl to 1,511 ft asl lasted 6 minutes, covering 17 nm, beginning 2 nm north of Buxted.
Final approach to runway 26L at EGKK London Gatwick Airport descended from 1,368 ft agl to 48 ft agl in 111 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and wings level; speed was not met at one gate. Configuration on final was flap 3 at 1,835 ft agl with 189 kt.
Landing on runway 26L (runway length 2,882 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 136 kt. The flare was perfect; the aircraft floated before touchdown. Touchdown occurred 292 m beyond the touchdown zone at 124 kt, with a smooth rate of -133 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather was 12 °C, wind 5 kt from 260° (crosswind 0 kt, headwind 5 kt). No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 1,224 m (42 % of the runway) and rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway for 7 minutes, covering 2 nm. The flight covered 183 nm in 49 minutes and used 1,573 kg of fuel.
