MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
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.

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 3,202 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 187 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 23 at LFKF Figari Sud-Corse Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Pianottoli-Caldarello in Corse, France. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 91 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,019 feet above sea level to 29,017 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,999 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 58 miles east of La Caletta in Sardegna, Italy. This phase lasted for 73 minutes and covered a distance of 561 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Kato Sinoikia Trikalon in the Peloponnese, Greece. The descent took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 28,862 feet above sea level to 3,098 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,764 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles west of Marmarion in Central Greece, Greece. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 21R at LGAV Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 217.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21R was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 107 knots and a distance of 185 meters. The touchdown rate was firm at -320 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 700 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking from the runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 753 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 131 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,711 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ85 aircraft successfully landed at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (LGAV) on runway 21R, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 217.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,274 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 107 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 185 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -320 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 111 kt, which may indicate a slightly slower than expected approach. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 2 kt from 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which would not have significantly impacted the landing performance.
The total landing distance of 700 meters was 22% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled and stable during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing performance of the RJ85 aircraft at Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport was excellent, with a high score and minimal deviations from the ideal performance.
