MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.9°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,999 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 252 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 25 at ENBO Bodø Airport in Norway. The takeoff distance was 1,104 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 166 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 249°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 21 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead ENBO Bodø Airport and continued to an altitude of 26,625 feet above sea level. This climb phase covered a distance of 64 nautical miles and took 13 minutes to complete.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 55 nautical miles. This phase began 2 miles southwest of Kjopsvik in Norway. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 6 miles west of Sjovegan in Norway. The descent phase covered a distance of 60 nautical miles and took 18 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 26,442 feet to 1,714 feet above sea level.
The final approach to runway 18 at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes was made from the north, with a heading of 193.0° and at an altitude of 1,679 feet above ground level. The aircraft then landed on runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 meters. The threshold height at 57 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 142 knots. The touchdown distance was also good at 252 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 138 knots. The touchdown rate was very heavy at -788 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 187 nautical miles, and the flight took 49 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,053 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at ENTC Tromsø Airport, Langnes, with a score of 90.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 193.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,679 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 18, which has a length of 1,999 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 138 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was within the acceptable range at 252 meters. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy at -788 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The pilots successfully managed the aircraft to maintain control despite these conditions.
After touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.3 meters. The total landing distance was 1,053 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
