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 4.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
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 six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,130 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 311 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, LFPG, with a takeoff distance of 310 meters, which was 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 131 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 180°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Roissy-en-France, and climbed from an altitude of 1,379 feet above sea level to 29,004 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,625 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 60 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south of Jaudrais, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 288 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 75 miles north of Noja, and descended from an altitude of 28,994 feet above sea level to 4,006 feet above sea level, a decrease of 24,989 feet, in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 61 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 17 miles north of Castro-Urdiales, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles north of Castro-Urdiales, and descended from an altitude of 3,992 feet above sea level to 1,509 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,482 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at Bilbao Airport, LEBB, was made from the west, heading 117.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,374 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 2,130 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 114 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 309 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 108 knots. The touchdown rate was hard at -419 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 15 knots from a direction of 139°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The total landing distance was 841 meters, which was 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 442 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 79 minutes. The aircraft used 1,404 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at LEBB Bilbao Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 117.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,374 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,130 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was also good at 114 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 108 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -419 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 309 meters was within acceptable limits.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's heading or the wind conditions. The local weather at the time of landing was characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 139°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 14 knots.
The total landing distance of 841 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
