MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 179 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 31 kt fast at 210 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 179 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 1,865 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,865 m of the 2,700 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 705 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (LFBO), the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on runway 32R, it was cleared for departure, and the takeoff roll commenced. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 149 knots, having covered a distance of 1,143 meters, which represented 38% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from Toulouse-Blagnac, it encountered a local weather condition of 12°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 290°. The enroute climb phase began overhead the airport, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,463 feet above sea level to 29,836 feet, an increase of 28,373 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles northwest of Cubjac and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 149 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, initially from 29,996 feet to 14,671 feet in 12 minutes, covering 86 nautical miles. A brief level cruise phase followed, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles. The final descent phase began overhead Villiers-Saint-Frederic and ended with the aircraft touching down on runway 26L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG).
The landing phase was executed with good threshold height and threshold speed, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 136 knots. The touchdown point was 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,793 meters, representing 67% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 415 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 3,527 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 26L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a heading of 265.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles out, at an altitude of 1,237 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 136 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 297 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,793 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a moderate over-run. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.5%. The pilot's performance was commendable, considering the challenging weather conditions and the need to maintain control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
