MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 0.5 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 4.1°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 232 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 0.5 ft.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down 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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Hamburg Helmut Schmidt Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 33, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 1,477 meters, or 46% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 150 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 29°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 7 knots from a direction of 320°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile southwest of Langenhorn, Germany. Over the course of 15 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 964 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 29,012 feet, a vertical increase of 28,048 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 78 nautical miles. Following a brief level cruise phase overhead Schoneworde, Germany, the aircraft began its enroute descent approximately 1 mile northwest of Erbendorf, Germany. The descent phase, which lasted 14 minutes, saw the aircraft decrease in altitude from 29,001 feet to 5,438 feet, a vertical decrease of 23,563 feet, while covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a second level cruise phase, this time lasting 7 minutes and covering 27 nautical miles, before commencing its final descent phase overhead Rohrmoos, Germany.
The final approach to runway 08L at Munich Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 84.0° at an altitude of 1,159 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, utilizing 400 meters of the 3,989-meter-long runway, and achieving a touchdown speed of 123 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 388 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 3,152 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 71 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08L at EDDM Munich Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,159 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 131 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 400 meters, which was within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also good, and the firm touchdown rate of -398 feet per minute indicated a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a light headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the absence of any significant crosswind component. The total landing distance of 1,426 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing.
The rollout phase was also executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the aircraft and the crew was reflected in the final score of 96.7%, which was a testament to their skill and experience. The landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown, with all parameters well within the acceptable range.
