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 7.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 433 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 487 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,691 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,691 m of the 3,345 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,027 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGJJ Jersey Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 08, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 150 kt after covering 87% of the runway's length, which was 1,343 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 23 kt from a direction of 169 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 23 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of EGJJ Jersey Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 1,207 ft to 22,949 ft, an increase of 21,741 ft, in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 39 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 9 miles north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux in Normandie, France, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 20 miles north of Saint-Germain-des-Vaux, and descended from 22,948 ft to 3,367 ft, a decrease of 19,582 ft, in 18 minutes and covering a distance of 101 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, this time starting overhead South Croydon in Greater London, England, and lasting for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Brixton in Greater London, and descended from 3,073 ft to 1,371 ft, a decrease of 1,702 ft, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 270.0 ° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 ft above ground level. The landing took place on runway 27L, which was 3,345 meters long, with the threshold height being significantly above the target height. However, the threshold speed was good at 124 kt.
The touchdown point was 587 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the touchdown speed being good at 114 kt. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -444 fpm. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 25.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 °C and a wind speed of 12 kt from a direction of 180 °, resulting in a crosswind of 12 kt and a headwind of 0 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which was 47% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.5 meters from the centreline. The total flight distance was 172 nautical miles, taking approximately 37 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,801 kg of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft has successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, but with some notable issues. The final approach to runway 27L was initiated from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 71.9%.
The threshold height at 84 feet agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was good at 124 knots, suggesting that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. The touchdown point was 587 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 114 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the landing. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -444 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some discomfort for the passengers. The runway touchdown position was also significantly misaligned by 25.6 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to a combination of factors including crosswind and pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was zero. These conditions may have contributed to the difficulties experienced during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it may have been due to the hard touchdown rate and the misaligned runway touchdown position. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.5 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position.
Overall, while the Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, there were several issues that need to be addressed to improve the landing performance. These include reducing the threshold height, improving the runway touchdown position, and reducing the touchdown rate.
