MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 152 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 127 kt, 25 kt before the 152 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 152 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 225 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

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 1,759 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,759 m of the 2,757 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 517 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dortmund Airport, the Airbus A321 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 06, the crew initiated the departure roll, and the aircraft lifted off the ground after a takeoff distance of 680 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 135 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a 10-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its ascent from 1,325 feet above sea level to 24,011 feet, an increase of 22,687 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 61 nautical miles. The crew then leveled off the aircraft, and it remained in a steady cruise for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles, before initiating another climb to 34,960 feet. The aircraft continued to cruise at various altitudes, with a notable level cruise segment lasting 28 minutes and covering 234 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 34,448 feet to 5,011 feet, a decrease of 29,438 feet in 19 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport was initiated from the east, and the aircraft touched down on the runway after a go-around. The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,685 meters, accounting for 61% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 631 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 6,149 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The final approach to runway 28 at LIMJ Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 289.0° at 4 nm and 1,273 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a slight deviation in threshold speed, reaching 146 kt, which was marginally above the target value.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it was noted that the touchdown point was 108 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 138 kt was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 315°, contributed to a calm and stable environment for the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,685 m was 61% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with high precision, resulting in a score of 98.8%.
