MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 267 m past the target, landing at 724 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,710 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,710 m of the 3,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 724 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-1000 taxied from the parking area to runway 05R at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05R, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,999 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and lifted off at 180 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 32 °C, wind 1 kt from 29°, with a headwind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.
The initial climb began 1 mile east of RCTP, climbing from 1,025 ft asl to 33,000 ft asl - an increase of 31,975 ft - in 29 minutes while covering 217 nm.
Cruise commenced 75 nm north of Miyako Shimojishima Airport and continued for 189 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 1,612 nm at level flight.
A subsequent climb started at latitude 42.4828703 longitude 149.2146644, raising the aircraft from 33,739 ft asl to 35,000 ft asl, a gain of 1,261 ft, in 2 minutes and covering 14 nm.
The next cruise segment began at latitude 42.6622568 longitude 149.4606874 and lasted 97 minutes, during which 824 nm were flown at cruise altitude.
A further climb was initiated at latitude 51.109095 longitude 165.3912852, increasing altitude from 35,000 ft asl to 38,880 ft asl - a rise of 3,880 ft - in 5 minutes while traversing 46 nm.
The following cruise phase started at latitude 51.3583016 longitude 166.5764644 and persisted for 421 minutes, covering 3,508 nm at level flight.
Descent began 2 mi south-east of Morris Ag Air SW Airport, descending from 39,000 ft asl to 4,128 ft asl, a loss of 34,872 ft, in 25 minutes and spanning 145 nm.
A brief cruise segment followed 2 mi north of Mesa, lasting 2 minutes and covering 8 nm before the final approach.
The final approach to runway 26 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport was executed from the east, on a heading of 266.0°, at 3 nm and 1,813 ft agl.
A go-around was performed on runway 26 at an altitude of 902 ft agl before a subsequent approach was flown.
Landing on runway 26 was achieved with a runway length of 3,495 m; the threshold speed was 135 kt and touchdown occurred 310 m beyond the touchdown zone at 126 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 269 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather at the time was 34 °C, wind 2 kt from 220°, with a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt cross-wind.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,631 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and alignment during rollout remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 6,417 nm, took 796 minutes, and consumed 85,329 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A350-1000 executed a final approach to runway 26 at KPHX Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport from the east, maintaining a heading of 266.0° at 3 nm and 1,813 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 34 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 220°, including 1 kt cross-wind and 1 kt head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft displayed good threshold height and a threshold speed that was good at 135 kt. The flare was performed in accordance with the aircraft’s procedures, setting up for the subsequent touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 310 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 126 kt, noted as a little fast, and a vertical rate that was fair at -269 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the total landing distance measured 1,631 m, representing 47 % of the 3,495 m runway length.
Rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase, confirming the aircraft stayed on centreline to the end of the runway.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target reference and manage the flare to achieve a lower vertical rate, which will further improve the landing score while maintaining the already excellent alignment.
