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 21°, 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 28 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 28 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 28 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 5,800 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,800 ft of the 9,041 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,576 ft 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A319, then departed from runway 29 at LOWW Vienna International Airport. The takeoff distance was 4,188 feet, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 42 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 120 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a tailwind of 1 knot was present. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles east of Schwechat, Austria. The climb took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,393 feet above sea level to 30,397 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of Pernegg an der Mur, Austria. This phase lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 223 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile west of Mirabello, Italy. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 110 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,843 feet above sea level to 1,347 feet.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 288.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,327 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway at this point. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 20 degrees. There was a crosswind of 3 knots, but no headwind.
The landing was made on runway 28, which had a length of 9,041 feet. The threshold height was well above the target, and the threshold speed was also well above the target at 135 knots. The touchdown point was 1,210 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 119 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -48 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 5,533 feet, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 406 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 6,030 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport, with a score of 85.5%. The final approach to runway 28 was initiated from the east, heading 288.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,327 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 9,041 feet.
The threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired at the point of touchdown. Similarly, the threshold speed of 135 knots was also above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling faster than necessary at the point of touchdown. The touchdown point was located 1,210 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The touchdown speed of 119 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling slightly too quickly at the point of touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any significant deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 20 feet from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 55°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 0 knots. The total landing distance was 5,533 feet, which represents 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 40 feet from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the Airbus A319 aircraft was able to touch down safely and smoothly, with a score of 85.5%. The deviations from the target threshold height and speed, as well as the slight misalignments during the touchdown and rollout phases, may indicate areas for improvement in the aircraft's performance and handling.
