MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 40 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 40 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 40 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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 m gate: off the centreline and wings not level.
At the 152 m gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 624 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 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a P180, then departed from runway 13 at LIPR Federico Fellini International Airport. The takeoff distance was 636 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 126 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 29°C temperature and 11-knot headwind. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of Riccione, Italy, and reached an altitude of 9,659 meters above sea level, an increase of 9,341.4 meters in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 1 mile northwest of Civitella di Romagna, Italy, and lasted for 18 minutes, covering a distance of 96 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent 19 miles southwest of Tellaro, Italy, and descended from 9,654 meters to 1,256 meters above sea level, a decrease of 8,398.8 meters in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 21 miles south of Bordighera, Italy, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 15 miles south of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, and descended from 1,249 meters to 1,008 meters above sea level, a decrease of 241 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 10 miles southeast of Antibes, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent 6 miles south of Antibes and descended from 935 meters to 392 meters above sea level, a decrease of 542.4 meters in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, heading 52.0° at 3 nautical miles and 381.5 meters above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 134 knots.
The touchdown point was 201 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and 16-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,422 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 255 nautical miles, taking a total of 74 minutes, and the aircraft used 425 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft, identified as FFX P180 03 01, successfully landed on runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 52.0° at an altitude of 381.5 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 84.1%.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a touchdown point located 201 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 117 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second was excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.2 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing position.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 90°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 11 knots, which did not significantly impact the aircraft's performance. The total landing distance of 1,422 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 8.3 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the landing was considered successful, and the aircraft's performance was evaluated as satisfactory. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision, and the aircraft's systems performed as expected.
