MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 58 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 58 ft, 13 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 369 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 39 kt FAST on the reference speed of 124 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,990 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 152 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The MD-83 taxied from the parking area to runway 04R at Nice-Côte d’Azur Airport in 10 minutes, covering 2 nm.
The aircraft departed runway 04R, using a takeoff roll of 1,852 m (63 % of runway) and achieving liftoff at 158 kt; local conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced 1 nm north-east of Nice, rising from 994 ft asl to 23,992 ft asl - an increase of 22,998 ft - in 17 minutes while covering 86 nm.
The first cruise segment began 2 nm south-west of Travo and lasted 3 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 102 nm.
Descent started 2 nm south-east of Genoa, descending from 24,706 ft asl to 23,801 ft asl - a loss of 904 ft - in 2 minutes over 31 nm.
A second cruise phase overhead Rattenberg lasted 2 minutes and covered 7 nm.
The next descent began 1 nm east of Campodenno, dropping from 23,800 ft asl to 7,862 ft asl - a decrease of 15,938 ft - in 10 minutes while traveling 87 nm.
A brief cruise segment over Rattenberg lasted 2 minutes and spanned 7 nm.
Climb resumed overhead Hart im Zillertal, gaining from 7,890 ft asl to 9,495 ft asl - an increase of 1,605 ft - in 2 minutes across 7 nm.
The final descent started 3 nm west of Kaltenbach, falling from 9,435 ft asl to 2,341 ft asl - a loss of 7,094 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 14 nm.
The aircraft entered final approach to runway 26 at Innsbruck Airport from the east, aligned on a heading of 261.0° at 4 nm and 426 ft agl.
A go-around was executed on runway 26 at 401 ft agl before a subsequent approach was flown.
Landing on runway 26 was completed with a threshold speed of 122 kt; touchdown occurred 153 m down the runway at 118 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 408 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.4 m from the centreline. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance was 1,253 m (63 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 9.6 m.
The MD-83 taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 342 nm, lasted 52 minutes, and consumed 3,858 kg of fuel.
The MD-83 approached runway 26 at LOWI from the east on a heading of 261.0° at 4 nm and 426 ft agl; at the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable, being off the glideslope.
During the threshold and flare segment the threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 122 kt.
Touchdown occurred 153 m down the runway at a speed of 118 kt, both judged good, while the vertical rate was hard at minus 408 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline; total landing distance was 1 253 m, representing 63 % of the 1 990 m runway.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.6 m from the centreline.
With a final score of 93.7 % the landing was strong overall; refining centreline tracking to reduce the 6-10 m lateral deviations and moderating the touchdown rate will further improve consistency.
