MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 0 m.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Raise the nose more slowly in the flare and stop as soon as the sink is checked; if it balloons, hold the attitude.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink only for 373 fpm of it to come back as the aircraft ballooned before touchdown; this pattern usually carries the touchdown further down the runway, and here it touched down 916 m past the target point.
Watch for: The runway ahead: the aircraft still sinking gently towards it through the flare, never rising.
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

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 305 m and 152 m 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 2,201 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,201 m of the 4,011 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,373 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, taxiing from the parking area to the runway took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then took off from runway 14R, utilizing 53% of the 4,118-meter runway, and lifted off at a speed of 158 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 324°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Sepang, Malaysia, and reached a height of 6,979 meters above sea level in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 52 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, lasting 13 minutes and covering 87 nautical miles, before beginning its descent 3 miles northwest of Raja Haji Abdullah, Indonesia. The descent from 6,968 meters to 2,136 meters above sea level took 12 minutes and covered 55 nautical miles. The aircraft continued to descend and level cruise multiple times before beginning its final approach to runway 20C at Singapore Changi Airport.
The final approach was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0° at 4 nautical miles and 386.7 meters above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 20C, which is 4,011 meters long, with the touchdown point being 953 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 143 knots, and the touchdown rate was -1.4 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 2,117 meters, utilizing 53% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 265 nautical miles, taking 64 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,402 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 20C at WSSS Singapore Changi Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 203.0° at 4 nm and 386.7 meters above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 19.0 meters above ground level being above the target, indicating a slightly higher than desired approach path. The threshold speed of 150 kt was also slightly above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly higher approach path.
The aircraft touched down 953 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 143 kt, which was good. However, the touchdown rate of -1.4 meters per second was fair, indicating a slightly longer than desired deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor control issue during the final stages of the approach. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 29°C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,117 meters was 53% of the runway length, which was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the approach and landing phases.
