MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 84 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 84 ft, 39 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,697 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,697 m of the 2,617 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 718 m past the threshold — beyond 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an A21N, then departed from runway 01 at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Iceland. The takeoff distance was 1,880 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 182 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 1 mile west of Reykjanesbaer, a town in the Sudurnes region of Iceland. The climb took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,123 feet above sea level to 34,490 feet. The enroute level cruise then began 68 miles south of Vestmannaeyjar Airport (BIVM) in the Sudurland region of Iceland. This cruise phase lasted for 84 minutes and covered a distance of 612 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles south of Drumkeeran in Ireland, where the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,993 feet to 7,996 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 93 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began again 14 miles east of Loughshinny in Ireland, lasting for 3 minutes and covering 12 nautical miles. The final descent started 19 miles east of Howth in Ireland, where the aircraft descended from 7,993 feet to 1,476 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 275.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 298 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 134 knots. The touchdown rate was also good at -178 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,612 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 12.6 meters. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 873 nautical miles, which was covered in 150 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,682 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local temperature at the time of departure from Keflavik was 5 degrees Celsius, while the temperature at the time of landing at Dublin was 13 degrees Celsius.
The aircraft in question, an A21N, successfully landed on runway 28L at Dublin Airport (EIDW) with a score of 89.0%. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 275.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were both satisfactory, with a threshold speed of 136 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 134 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -178 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown point was 298 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which could be a result of the pilot's navigation or the aircraft's alignment during the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 13°C.
The total landing distance of 1,612 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.5 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the intended path. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of navigation and alignment during the approach and rollout phases.
