MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 161 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 141 kt against a target of 161 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 161 kt.
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 4.9 ft, and this flight then touched down at 279 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down 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 1,696 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,696 m of the 3,244 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 604 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A319 taxied from the parking area to runway 22 at EDDC Dresden Airport in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 22, the aircraft used 1,593 m of runway, representing 63 % of the available length, and lifted off at 132 kt; ambient temperature was 21 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 300°, giving a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.
The climb began 1 mile south-west of EDDC, where the flight ascended from 1,660 ft asl to 12,194 ft asl, a gain of 10,534 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 18 nm.
A level cruise segment commenced 2 miles west of Liebstadt and continued for 9 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 51 nm.
The first descent started over Postrizin, Czech Republic, with the aircraft descending from 12,556 ft asl to 5,184 ft asl, a loss of 7,372 ft in 5 minutes and a distance of 22 nm.
A second cruise phase began over Svojetice, lasting 3 minutes and covering 13 nm at a constant altitude.
The final descent was initiated over Jesenice, descending from 5,111 ft asl to 2,592 ft asl, a reduction of 2,520 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 8 nm.
On final approach to runway 30 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague, the aircraft approached from the south-east on a heading of 307.0° at 4 nm and 1,392 ft agl.
Landing on runway 30 was executed with a threshold speed of 130 kt; touchdown occurred 189 m beyond the touchdown zone at 126 kt and a vertical speed of minus 326 fpm, with runway alignment described as perfect. Local conditions were 18 °C, wind 6 kt from 270°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind.
The rollout covered a distance of 1,617 m, equal to 50 % of the runway length, and alignment during the rollout was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 121 nm, lasted 35 minutes, and consumed 1,355 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A319 on a final approach to runway 30 at LKPR Václav Havel Airport Prague descended from the south-east on a heading of 307.0° at 4 nm and 1,392 ft agl, encountering a temperature of 18 °C, wind 6 kt from 270°, with a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 5 kt head-wind component.
At the threshold the aircraft crossed 60 ft agl, a height slightly above target, and established a threshold speed of 130 kt, which was rated good.
Touchdown occurred 189 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the speed at touchdown was 126 kt, a little fast, and the vertical rate was firm at minus 326 fpm, while runway alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,617 m, representing 50 % of the 3,252 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine the touchdown point to fall within the touchdown zone and reduce the touchdown speed toward the target to tighten the margin of safety; these adjustments will convert the minor excesses into a fully on-target landing.
