MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 5.9 ft, 5.3 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 1,739 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,739 m of the 3,403 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 310 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamad International Airport (OTHH) in Doha, Qatar, the Airbus A350-1000 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 16L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 27 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 160°.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft lifted off the runway at a speed of 176 knots, utilizing only 35% of the available runway length of 1,726 meters. The enroute climb phase commenced shortly after, with the aircraft ascending from 980 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 40,988 feet, a vertical gain of 40,008 feet in 29 minutes and covering a distance of 196 nautical miles. The climb phase concluded overhead the Baladiyat ad Dawhah region, marking the beginning of the enroute level cruise phase.
The cruise phase lasted for 1,252 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,050 nautical miles, maintaining a steady altitude of 40,988 feet. The enroute descent phase started 20 miles south-west of Mundwa, India, and lasted 28 minutes, with the aircraft descending from 41,055 feet to 2,756 feet above sea level, a vertical loss of 38,299 feet. The final approach to runway 27 at Jaipur International Airport (VIJP) was executed from the east, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 131 knots and a distance of 311 meters. The total landing distance was 1,663 meters, utilizing 49% of the available runway length. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 1,436 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 5,792 kilograms.
The aircraft touched down on runway 27 at VIJP Jaipur International Airport with a firm touchdown rate of -375 fpm, slightly above the target rate. The touchdown speed of 131 kt was a little fast, but the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent from 1,491 ft agl at 4 nm from the runway threshold. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 133 kt was slightly above the target. The touchdown distance of 311 m was within the acceptable range, and the total landing distance of 1,663 m was 49% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 359 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the landing was excellent, with a score of 97.4%. The slight deviations from the target touchdown speed and threshold speed did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing.
