MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 170 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 150 kt against a target of 170 kt, running 20 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 170 kt.
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.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,660 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,660 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 347 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from EKVG Vágar Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted six minutes and covered a distance of three nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 30, utilizing 1,007 meters, or 56% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 339 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,724 feet above sea level, eventually reaching 34,010 feet, a gain of 32,286 feet in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 146 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase concluded overhead Sorvagur, marking the beginning of the cruise phase. The aircraft then transitioned to a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 34,010 feet for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 210 nautical miles. The cruise phase concluded 108 miles southeast of Hoefn, after which the aircraft initiated its descent to prepare for landing at BIKF Keflavik International Airport. The descent phase, which lasted 17 minutes and covered 96 nautical miles, brought the aircraft from 33,724 feet to 1,530 feet above sea level.
As the aircraft approached runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport, it executed a final approach from the west, aligning itself with the runway at a height of 1,372 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 124 knots and a distance of 352 meters, or 52% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was fair at -292 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking five minutes to cover a distance of one nautical mile. The total flight distance was 462 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 78 minutes and a fuel consumption of 3,342 kilograms.
The final approach to runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,372 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 129 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 352 m, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 124 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the pilots may have been able to reduce the speed further to achieve a more optimal touchdown. The touchdown rate of -292 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -1 °C and a wind of 15 kt at 110°, contributed to a crosswind of 5 kt and a headwind of 14 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,578 m, which accounted for 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilots.
