MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 130 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 291 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,852 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,852 m of the 3,015 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 772 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 32R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia. The takeoff distance was 2,298 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 322 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots. As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of the airport and rising from an altitude of 9,360 feet above sea level to 20,716 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,356 feet in just 7 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 33 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 22 nautical miles. This phase began 1 mile southwest of Tocaima, a town in the Cundinamarca department of Colombia. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 20,817 feet above sea level to 22,758 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,941 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 11 nautical miles and started 1 mile southeast of SKXZ Los Feria Girón Airport in the Tolima department of Colombia.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 34 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles west of San Luis, a town in the Tolima department of Colombia. As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 10 miles northwest of Chaparral, a town in the Tolima department of Colombia. The descent from 22,571 feet above sea level to 4,408 feet above sea level, a decrease of 18,163 feet in 14 minutes, covered a distance of 50 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at SKCL Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 9.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 02 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 360 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 124 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was also good at -162 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 40 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,775 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 160 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 45 minutes. The aircraft used 1,671 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SKCL Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport, with a score of 87.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 9.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 02, which has a length of 3,015 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 360 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 124 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also good at -162 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. The threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 137 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 40°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,775 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 87.3%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot was able to successfully bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
