MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 175 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 146 kt against a target of 175 kt, running 29 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 175 kt.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,651 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,651 m of the 3,344 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 384 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris, the Airbus A350-900 began its journey with a taxiing period of 10 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 09R, utilizing 51% of the available runway length, with a takeoff distance of 1,834 meters. The liftoff speed was achieved at 159 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind of 9 knots at 50°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Paris, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 38,001 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which lasted for 73 minutes and covered a significant distance of 2,198 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 40,002 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 47 nautical miles. The climb was followed by another level cruise phase, lasting 18 minutes and covering 544 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 1 mile south east of Saint-Henri, Quebec, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The Airbus A350-900 finally began its final approach to runway 24R at Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, aligning perfectly with the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target, at 136 knots, and a touchdown distance of 389 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast, at 135 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -327 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,574 meters, utilizing 47% of the available runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 1 minute. The total flight distance was 3,076 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 39,436 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Airbus A350-900 touched down on runway 24R at CYUL Montreal / Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -327 fpm, slightly above the target speed of 135 kt. The aircraft's touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown distance of 389 m was good, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 136 kt was slightly above target.
The approach quality was excellent, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft maintained its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase, which was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a headwind of 10 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component of 1 kt had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 1,574 m was 47% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. Overall, the landing was scored 98.3%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew. The approach, touchdown, and rollout phases were all executed well, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
