MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 123 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 138 kt against a target of 123 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 123 kt at the threshold.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,087 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,985 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nashville International Airport (KBNA), the Airbus A319 began its journey with a taxiing period of 11 minutes, covering 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 20C, with a takeoff distance of 4,259 feet, accounting for 53% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 143 knots, with a local temperature of 74°F and a wind of 3 knots at 179°.
As the aircraft climbed from 1,526 feet above sea level to 37,421 feet, it covered 106 nautical miles in 21 minutes, achieving an increase of 35,896 feet. The enroute climb phase started 1 mile south of KBNA and concluded 3 miles west of Littleville, Alabama. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 14 minutes and covering 90 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple enroute level cruise and descent phases, with notable changes in altitude and distance covered. Notably, the aircraft spent 180 minutes in a level cruise phase, covering less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 11 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (KMSY) began from the west, with a heading of 106.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,140 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown point 608 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance was 4,269 feet, accounting for 42% of the runway. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding the flight that covered a total distance of 460 nautical miles, using 8,119 pounds of fuel and lasting 115 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at KMSY Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, a 10,087-foot-long asphalt surface, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, registering 139 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 133 knots. The touchdown point was located 608 feet beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-shoot.
The touchdown characteristics were notable for a relatively high touchdown rate of -220 feet per minute, which may have been influenced by the fast touchdown speed. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 88 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, which further facilitated a stable approach and touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 4,269 feet, which accounted for 42% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 96.7% reflecting the minor deviations from optimal touchdown speed and distance.
