MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 36 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 36 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 36 ft to 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,998 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 537 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 22R at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,833 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 119 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles west of EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport and rising from an altitude of 1,140 feet above sea level to 32,782 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,642 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 178 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 20 miles east of Mersrags, Latvia, and lasted for 73 minutes, covering a distance of 586 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 32,921 feet above sea level to 34,387 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,466 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. This climb phase started 1 mile southwest of Ardud, Romania.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Surduc, Romania, and lasted for 96 minutes, covering a distance of 697 nautical miles. As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its descent, starting 4 miles north of Muratpasa, Turkey, and descending from 35,851 feet above sea level to 1,321 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,530 feet, in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 81 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 81.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 08, which had a length of 1,998 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,443 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,580 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 225 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12,106 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LTFG Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach to runway 08 was initiated from the west, heading 81.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,201 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 1,998 meters. However, the threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 148 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been traveling slightly faster than necessary.
The touchdown point was 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 142 knots. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
The total landing distance was 1,443 meters, which represents 72% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 92.9%. However, there were some minor issues with the threshold height, threshold speed, and runway touchdown position, which may be addressed in future training or operations.
