MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.9°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 32 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.
What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 32 ft down to touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 32 ft to touchdown.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,570 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 511 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 25 at London Luton Airport (EGGW). The Airbus A320 took off with a takeoff distance of 926 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 151 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 219 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 20 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Luton, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of the airport. The climb started at an altitude of 1,443 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,392 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,949 feet in just 20 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 110 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 15 miles north west of Veulettes-sur-Mer in Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 43 minutes and covered a distance of 319 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent overhead Biere in the Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. The descent started at an altitude of 37,638 feet above sea level and ended at an altitude of 4,170 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,467 feet in 26 minutes. During this descent, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Allaman in the Canton de Vaud, Switzerland. This phase lasted for just 5 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its descent, it began its final approach to runway 22 at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG). The approach was made from the north east, heading 226.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The aircraft landed on runway 22, which had a length of 3,570 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots. The touchdown point was 296 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 133 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -154 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking just 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total landing distance was 1,338 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The total flight distance was 453 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 1 hour and 1 minute. The aircraft used 3,679 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) on runway 22, achieving a score of 96.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,255 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 296 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the target area. The touchdown speed of 133 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. However, the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute (fpm) was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 12 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which the pilots successfully managed during the landing. The runway threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showing that the pilots successfully controlled the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilots demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown point, which could be addressed through further training and practice.
