MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 170 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 80 kt fast at 250 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 170 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on the approach so your speed is back to 143 kt well before the stabilisation gate.
What happened: This flight was fast at the stabilisation gate, then crossed the threshold high on a shallow descent and 49 kt above VREF; carrying that extra speed through to the threshold usually carries the touchdown long, and this flight touched down 792 m past the target point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 120.5 kt FAST on the reference speed of 143 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 92.0 kt FAST on the reference speed of 143 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,015 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,015 m of the 2,489 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,249 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo departed from runway 08 at EETN Lennart Meri Tallinn Airport, applying a take-off roll of 1,167 m which represented 36 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 154 kt. Local conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 1 kt.
During the climb the aircraft accelerated from 1,118 ft asl to 16,912 ft asl, gaining 15,793 ft in 5 minutes while covering 27 nm. The climb commenced overhead Lagedi in Harjumaa, Estonia.
The first cruise segment began 15 mi north-west of Loksa, Harjumaa, and lasted 8 minutes, during which 56 nm were flown at level altitude.
The initial descent started 4 mi south-west of Kotka, Kymenlaakso, Finland, descending from 17,000 ft asl to 10,129 ft asl, a loss of 6,871 ft in 3 minutes while covering 21 nm.
A second cruise phase was initiated 7 mi north-east of Hamina, Kymenlaakso, lasting 2 minutes and encompassing 8 nm at constant altitude.
The subsequent descent began 5 mi north-west of Miehikkaelae, Kymenlaakso, with the aircraft dropping from 10,044 ft asl to 1,581 ft asl, a reduction of 8,462 ft in 4 minutes over a distance of 21 nm.
Final approach to runway 06 at EFLP Lappeenranta Airport reduced altitude from 1,302 ft agl to 84 ft agl in 58 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06, whose length is 2,489 m, occurred with a threshold height of 62 ft agl that was above target and a threshold speed of 193 kt. Touchdown was made beyond the midpoint of the runway, using more than 50 % of the available length, at a speed of 162 kt and a firm rate of minus 311 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 23.0 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,940 m, representing 78 % of the runway.
Rollout continued with the aircraft remaining misaligned by 23.0 m from the centreline as it decelerated along the runway.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 140 nm, lasted 29 minutes and consumed 498 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at EFLP Lappeenranta Airport was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, with flaps not set, the aircraft off the centreline and more than 20 kt above VREF; the descent from 1,302 ft agl to 84 ft agl was completed in 58 seconds and the stabilisation gates were scored accordingly.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 62 ft agl, which was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 193 kt; ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
Touchdown occurred well beyond the intended aim point, using more than 50 % of the available runway; the touchdown speed was 162 kt, the vertical rate was firm at minus 311 fpm, and the touchdown point was misaligned by 23.0 m from the centreline.
Rollout continued with the aircraft aligned 23.0 m off the centreline and a total landing distance of 1,940 m, representing 78 % of the 2,489 m runway length.
Future flights should ensure flap deployment and centreline tracking before the 1,000 ft gate, and reduce speed to the appropriate VREF to achieve a touchdown within the first 300 m and maintain alignment for a smoother rollout.
