MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,097 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 270 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 21 at the César Manrique-Lanzarote Airport (GCRR) with a takeoff distance of 842 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 18°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The enroute climb started 2 miles east of Puerto del Carmen, where the aircraft ascended from 1,038 feet above sea level to 18,571 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,534 feet in 7 minutes and covering 39 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 14 miles northwest of Betancuria, where the aircraft descended from 18,742 feet above sea level to 10,471 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,271 feet in 3 minutes and covering 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase 26 miles northwest of Costa Calma, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 31 miles northeast of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where the aircraft descended from 9,870 feet above sea level to 6,552 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,318 feet in 2 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 21 miles northeast of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, lasting 3 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 8 miles northeast of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where the aircraft descended from 5,684 feet above sea level to 2,631 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,054 feet in 2 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase 5 miles east of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, lasting 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21R at the Gran Canaria Airport (GCLP) was made from the north, heading 201.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,256 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 21R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 273 meters and a touchdown speed of 147 knots, which was slightly too fast. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -706 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot. The total landing distance was 830 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft took 3 minutes to taxi to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 116 nautical miles, taking 29 minutes, and the aircraft used 522 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 21R at GCLP Gran Canaria Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,256 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 3,097 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 150 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly more challenging landing. The touchdown distance was good at 273 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 147 knots. This excessive speed resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -706 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear.
Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have required some adjustments during the rollout. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind.
Despite these minor issues, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was reported as very good. The total landing distance was 830 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are opportunities for improvement in terms of speed management and alignment during the touchdown and rollout phases.
