MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 144 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 26 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 53 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 53 ft, 7.5 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 322 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,589 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 463 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320neo taxied from the parking area to runway 09R at EGLL London Heathrow Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 09R, the aircraft accelerated for a take-off distance of 1,029 m, representing 31 % of the runway, and lifted off at 145 kt; ambient temperature was 19 °C with wind 8 kt from 060°, a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 7 kt head-wind component.
The first en-route climb commenced one mile north-west of Feltham, climbing from 1,122 ft asl to 5,898 ft asl - an increase of 4,776 ft - in 3 minutes while covering 10 nm.
A brief level cruise followed one mile west of Belsize Park, lasting 2 minutes and extending the flight by 8 nm.
The second en-route climb began overhead Hadley Wood, ascending from 6,010 ft asl to 38,930 ft asl - a gain of 32,920 ft - over 20 minutes and traversing 150 nm.
Subsequent level cruise started 53 miles north-east of Sea Palling, lasting 45 minutes and covering 376 nm.
The first en-route descent started 6 miles north-west of ENGK Arendal Airfield, Gullknapp, descending from 39,006 ft asl to 4,117 ft asl - a loss of 34,889 ft - in 21 minutes and spanning 134 nm.
A short cruise segment followed 4 miles north-west of ENHR Hurdal Airstrip, lasting 3 minutes and adding 11 nm.
The second en-route descent began one mile south-west of Minnesund, dropping from 3,778 ft asl to 1,996 ft asl - a decrease of 1,783 ft - in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, the aircraft descended from 1,365 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 105 seconds; local conditions were 9 °C with wind 3 kt from 330°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Landing on runway 19R was executed with a threshold speed of 131 kt; touchdown occurred 461 m down the runway at 127 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 250 fpm and very good alignment; the total landing distance was 1,359 m, representing 38 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, covering 2 nm in 6 minutes.
In total, the flight covered 703 nm, took 111 minutes, and consumed 3,408 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate, being more than 5 kt below VREF, and the aircraft descended from 1,365 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 105 seconds while being scored on the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 131 kt, indicating the aircraft met the required speed for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 461 m down the runway at a speed of 127 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 250 fpm that was rated fair; runway touchdown alignment was very good, the total landing distance was 1,359 m (38 % of the 3,589 m runway), and the aircraft remained well within the runway limits.
During rollout the aircraft maintained perfect runway alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
Maintain speed at or above VREF on final to ensure a stable approach, and manage the descent profile to reduce the vertical rate for a smoother touchdown.
