MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 143 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 127 kt, 16 kt before the 143 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 143 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 12 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 1.8°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 448 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 12 ft.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 34 kt FAST on the reference speed of 130 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,480 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 Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey on runway 33, accelerating down the 1,271-meter stretch to reach liftoff speed of 144 knots. The local weather conditions presented a moderate headwind of 2 knots, with a crosswind of 15 knots from the northwest. As the aircraft lifted off, it began its initial climb, gradually increasing altitude from 1,076 feet above sea level to 36,463 feet, a gain of 35,387 feet in 17 minutes, covering 117 nautical miles.
As the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, it leveled off at 36,463 feet, maintaining a steady altitude for 56 minutes while covering 421 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a brief descent and subsequent climb, as the aircraft adjusted its altitude to navigate through the airspace. The descent phase from 37,021 feet to 4,001 feet, a decrease of 33,020 feet in 20 minutes, covered 112 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes, before beginning its descent to prepare for landing.
The Airbus A319 touched down on runway 22L at Helsinki Vantaa Airport, with a touchdown distance of 388 meters, 33% of the 3,485-meter runway length. The touchdown speed was 120 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -374 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. After a short taxiing period of 3 minutes, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 673 nautical miles, using 3,923 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight duration was 1 hour and 48 minutes.
The aircraft, an Airbus A319, successfully completed a landing on runway 22L at EFHK Helsinki Vantaa Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach from the north east, heading 228.0° at 4 nm and 1,305 ft above ground level, was characterized by good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 130 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a touchdown distance of 388 m and a speed of 120 kt. The touchdown rate of -374 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10 °C and wind at 14 kt from 280°, presented a moderate headwind component of 9 kt and a crosswind component of 11 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,166 m, which accounted for 33% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the runway. Overall, the landing was scored at 96.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
