MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 24 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 24 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 24 ft to touchdown.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,917 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,917 m of the 3,002 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 659 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 55 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A350-1000, then departed from runway 27 at LEZL Sevilla Airport in Andalusia, Spain. The takeoff distance was 1,611 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead LEZL Sevilla Airport and took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,127 feet above sea level to 26,873 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,747 feet in just 12 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 59 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 39 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles west of Penarroya-Pueblonuevo in Andalusia, Spain. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 3 miles south of Baterno in Extremadura, Spain. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 27,035 feet above sea level to 3,215 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,820 feet in 24 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 113 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 322.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32R, which had a length of 3,002 meters. The threshold height at 73 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 293 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 132 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 130 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,886 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 227 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 59 minutes. The aircraft used 6,511 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport on runway 32R. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed with a slight deviation from the target threshold height, which was 73 feet agl, and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 137 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 293 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 132 knots, which was a little faster than the target. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 130°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,886 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.7 meters. Overall, the landing was executed with some minor deviations from the target parameters, but the aircraft's performance was generally satisfactory.
