MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 10 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 13 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,615 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,615 m of the 3,347 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 726 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report

The first en-route climb began overhead Dobroviz, rising from 2,191 ft asl to 34,813 ft asl - an increase of 32,621 ft - in 32 minutes while covering 245 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 1 mile south of Pilismarot, lasting 52 minutes and traversing 470 nm.
The next climb segment started over Mangalia, climbing from 35,000 ft asl to 36,710 ft asl (1,711 ft) in 3 minutes and covering 29 nm.
A subsequent cruise leg began 28 miles east of Shabla, persisting for 129 minutes and extending 1,185 nm.
The aircraft then climbed 23 miles north-east of Balkanabat from 37,441 ft asl to 37,997 ft asl, a gain of 556 ft achieved in 2 minutes over 13 nm.
A cruise phase followed 30 miles north-east of Balkanabat, lasting 73 minutes and covering 672 nm.
Climbing again 7 miles east of Panjab, the aircraft rose from 37,999 ft asl to 38,577 ft asl - 578 ft - in 2 minutes while traveling 14 nm.
The next cruise segment started 21 miles south-east of Panjab, lasting 185 minutes and spanning 1,529 nm.
A further climb began 10 miles south-west of Aizawl, increasing altitude from 39,000 ft asl to 39,578 ft asl (578 ft) in 2 minutes and covering 12 nm.
The aircraft then cruised 10 miles south-east of Aizawl for 33 minutes, covering 267 nm.
Climbing 6 miles west of VYLS Lashio Airport, the aircraft ascended from 40,000 ft asl to 40,533 ft asl - 533 ft - in 2 minutes and covered 12 nm.
A long cruise followed 7 miles east of VYLS Lashio Airport, lasting 167 minutes and encompassing 1,304 nm.
Descent commenced 11 miles east of RCWA Wang'an Airport, descending from 40,699 ft asl to 1,340 ft asl - a loss of 39,359 ft - in 23 minutes while covering 132 nm.
The final approach to runway 05R at RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 49.0° at 4 nm and 1,244 ft agl.
Landing on runway 05R (length 3,347 m) recorded a threshold speed slightly above target at 143 kt; touchdown occurred 313 m beyond the touchdown zone at 133 kt with a smooth rate of -125 fpm. The touchdown point was 8.6 m off the centreline. Local weather was 27 °C with a wind of 9 kt from 40°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,538 m (46 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was measured at 10.4 m off the centreline.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 5,892 nm, lasted 713 (units as provided), and consumed 68,477 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, achieving a high score of 94.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,247 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 24, which has a length of 3,707 meters. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots, indicating that the pilot had properly managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown point was 347 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance, suggesting that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -114 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 knots at 190°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft landed safely.
The total landing distance of 1,839 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's rollout and braking.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control over the aircraft. The high score of 94.1% reflects the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent, touchdown, and rollout in a safe and efficient manner.
