MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 120 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 131 kt, 11 kt above 120 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 120 kt at the threshold.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 843 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at EDDL Düsseldorf Airport, a movement that lasted 17 minutes and covered 3 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L, the aircraft accelerated for a takeoff distance of 982 m, representing 37 % of the runway, and lifted off at 157 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 1 kt from 175°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Climb commenced overhead Düsseldorf, climbing from 1,076 ft asl to 32,954 ft asl, an increase of 31,878 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 86 nm.
Level cruise began 1 mile south of Waldbrunn (Hessen, Germany) and continued for 32 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 238 nm.
Descent started 2 miles south-east of Pfunds (Tirol, Austria), descending from 33,022 ft asl to 1,305 ft asl, a loss of 31,717 ft in 29 minutes and covering 171 nm.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport involved a descent from 1,340 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 107 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 04R was executed with a threshold height at 66 ft agl above target and a threshold speed slightly above target at 132 kt. Touchdown occurred 422 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 122 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 456 fpm; runway-touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at the time showed a temperature of 14 °C, wind 1 kt from 175°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,417 m, representing 43 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a taxi-in that lasted 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 505 nm, required 93 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 3,523 kg of fuel.
The approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,340 ft agl to 93 ft agl in 107 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria and contributing to the overall score of 92.9 %.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold height of 66 ft agl was above the target and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 132 kt. Local weather was 14 °C with wind 1 kt from 175°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind.
Touchdown occurred 422 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 122 kt described as a little fast and a hard touchdown rate of minus 456 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 1,417 m, representing 43 % of the 3,291 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Focus on reducing the touchdown point distance by aiming for the standard 300 m (1,000 ft) aim point and refine the flare to achieve a softer touchdown rate, which will also help bring the touchdown speed closer to target.
