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 4.7 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Close the throttles further on final so you cross the threshold at 142 kt, removing the excess energy before the flare.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 148 kt, 6 kt above the 142 kt target, and the flare was not begun until 0.6 ft, well inside the normal flare band. Carrying excess speed that late into the approach usually leaves the flare started late and the touchdown arriving firm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 142 kt at the threshold
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,411 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at YMHB Hobart International Airport, where the Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 1,911 meters, which is 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 173 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 293 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead YCBG Hobart Cambridge Airport, in the state of Tasmania, Australia. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,017 feet above sea level to 35,072 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,055 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 87 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 1 mile north of Deloraine, also in the state of Tasmania, Australia, and lasted for 785 minutes, covering a distance of 3,659 nautical miles. This was followed by an enroute descent, which began 7 miles northwest of Cavite City, in the Calabarzon region of the Philippines. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 37,555 feet above sea level to 1,347 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,208 feet in just 18 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at RPLL Ninoy Aquino International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 241.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 24 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 151 knots, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -596 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,768 nautical miles, which was covered in 702 minutes, using 26 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed on runway 24 at Ninoy Aquino International Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 241.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,300 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 151 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown distance of 456 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -596 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed very hard, suggesting a potentially rough landing experience for passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.2 meters, which may have resulted in some deviation from the intended path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.
The total landing distance of 990 meters was 29% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.7 meters, which may have resulted in some deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was considered successful, there were some areas for improvement, including the touchdown speed and rate, as well as the runway touchdown and rollout alignments.
