MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 9.9 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 9.9 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 9.9 ft to touchdown.
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 2,345 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,345 m of the 3,288 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 653 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by an Airbus A350-1000 aircraft. The aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure from runway 27L at Charles de Gaulle International Airport (LFPG) was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 1,775 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 175 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 2°C and no wind. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile north-east of Le Thillay, France, and the aircraft climbed from 1,349 feet above sea level to 32,862 feet, an increase of 31,513 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 129 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 43 minutes and covered a distance of 331 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started approximately 1 mile south-east of Montourtier, France, and the aircraft climbed from 33,343 feet to 34,100 feet, an increase of 756 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 383 minutes and covered a distance of 2,802 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started at a latitude of 11.159536 and a longitude of -44.9602935, and the aircraft climbed from 33,978 feet to 35,984 feet, an increase of 2,006 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 155 minutes and covered a distance of 1,231 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started approximately 28 miles south of Nilo Peçanha Airport, Brazil, and the aircraft climbed from 36,035 feet to 37,951 feet, an increase of 1,916 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 113 minutes and covered a distance of 848 nautical miles. This was followed by another climb phase, which started approximately 10 miles south-west of Bella Vista, Paraguay, and the aircraft climbed from 38,430 feet to 39,047 feet, an increase of 616 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 81 minutes and covered a distance of 638 nautical miles. This was followed by a descent phase, which started approximately 1 mile north of Gualeguaychu Airport, Argentina, and the aircraft descended from 38,571 feet to 1,386 feet, a decrease of 37,185 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Minister Pistarini International Airport (SAEZ) was made from the east, with a heading of 282.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,301 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 3,288 meters, and the touchdown point was 245 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -191 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 7.9 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a
The Airbus A350-1000 successfully landed at SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, achieving an overall score of 88.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 282.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,301 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 29, which has a length of 3,288 meters.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots. The touchdown point was located 245 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 136 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -191 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 35°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 2,271 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway length. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.9 meters, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly off-center by 14.1 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the Airbus A350-1000 during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.9%.
