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 5.1 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.3 ft, 11 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 515 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from Falcone-Borsellino Airport in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, using runway 02 and an Airbus A320 aircraft. The takeoff distance covered 1,076 meters, approximately 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 140 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 240°.
As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, reaching a height of 35,997 feet above sea level. This climb, lasting 11 minutes, saw the aircraft increase its altitude by 34,970 feet and cover a distance of 107 nautical miles. After completing the climb, the aircraft entered its level cruise stage, which lasted 11 minutes and covered 290 nautical miles. The final stage of the enroute phase involved a descent, which commenced 4 miles south of Kaminia in Western Greece. The aircraft descended from 36,506 feet above sea level to 1,549 feet above sea level, covering 106 nautical miles and taking 21 minutes to complete.
The final approach to Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was initiated from the south west. As the aircraft approached runway 03L, it was at 4 nautical miles from the landing threshold and 1,262 feet above ground level. The aircraft was headed 37.0° at the time. The landing on runway 03L saw the aircraft touch down 95 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was measured at 141 knots, which was higher than the target speed. The touchdown rate was calculated to be -434 feet per minute, classified as hard. The runway touchdown position was found to be 9.0 meters off centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 39°. The crosswind speed was 1 knot, while the headwind speed was 16 knots. Following the landing, the total landing distance of the aircraft was determined to be 881 meters, approximately 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned, with the aircraft 9.9 meters off centerline.
After the landing, the aircraft taxiing process to the parking area took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of the aircraft was calculated to be 512 nautical miles, and it utilized a total of 3,296 kilograms of fuel during its journey, completing the journey in a total of 60 minutes.
The Airbus A320 has successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport's runway 03L with a score of 88.5%. The approach to the runway was from the southwest, heading 37.0°, and was completed at a height of 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level.
As the aircraft initiated its landing, the threshold height at 60 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed, which was 143 knots, was well above the target. The touchdown point of the aircraft was located 95 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and its touchdown speed registered at 141 knots, which was relatively fast. The rate at which the aircraft touched down was extremely hard, measured at -434 feet per minute.
Notably, the runway touchdown position was misaligned from the centreline by 9 meters, indicating that the aircraft did not properly line up with the runway during its landing approach. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by approximately 9.9 meters. Despite these minor discrepancies, the landing was otherwise successful.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 24°C and winds blowing at 16 knots from a direction of 39°. The aircraft experienced a headwind of 16 knots at the time of landing, while the crosswind velocity measured a mere 1 knot. The total landing distance of 881 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 28% of the available runway length, which is 3,202 meters long.
