MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 152 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 18 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Steepen the descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft, correcting the height error before it carries into speed and touchdown point.
What happened: Crossed the threshold 12 ft agl above the target, carrying excess speed over the numbers; crossing high and fast like this usually carries the touchdown long too, and this flight touched down 176 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: 50 ft at the threshold.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 633 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jersey Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 12 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With a local temperature of 22 °C and a wind speed of 17 kt at 269 °, the aircraft took off from runway 26, covering a distance of 801 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 kt, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude, climbing from 1,151 ft asl to 24,760 ft asl in just 9 minutes, covering 48 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered a level cruise phase, starting 26 miles northwest of Saint Peter Port, Guernsey. This phase lasted 21 minutes and covered 126 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile northwest of Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, and descended from 24,132 ft asl to 2,346 ft asl in 21 minutes, covering 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile northeast of Mouldsworth, England, and lasting only 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The final descent phase started 1 mile south of Daresbury, England, and the aircraft descended from 1,960 ft asl to 1,358 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The Airbus A320 then began its final approach to runway 27 at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 266.0 ° and at an altitude of 1,278 ft agl. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 kt, which was a little fast, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,138 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 292 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,512 kg of fuel during the journey, which took a total of 61 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport, a 2,284-meter-long runway, with a threshold height of 62 feet above ground level, exceeding the target. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 266.0° from 4 nautical miles away at 1,278 feet above ground level. The threshold speed of 149 knots was significantly above the target, indicating a high level of pilot proficiency.
The touchdown point was 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 140 knots, which was slightly faster than the target. The touchdown rate of -317 feet per minute was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating precise control and coordination from the pilots. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a headwind of 22 knots, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,138 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showcasing the pilots' ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 93.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
