MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Maintain the centreline
Next time
Hold the nose until reaching 145 kt before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 134 kt, 11 kt before the 145 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 145 kt.
Arrival
Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 11 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 11 ft down to touchdown.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 1,530 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,530 m of the 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 306 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 10 at EGNH Blackpool International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 823 m, representing 44 % of the runway, and lifted off at 134 kt. Local weather was 19 °C with wind 12 kt from 0°, a cross-wind component of 12 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb commenced overhead EGNH Blackpool International Airport, rising from 1,065 ft asl to 37,141 ft asl, an increase of 36,076 ft in 16 minutes while covering 104 nm.
The first level cruise began 8 miles east of Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Northumberland, England, and continued for 67 minutes, covering 552 nm.
Descent started 3 miles south of Molkom, Vaermland County, Sweden, descending from 36,985 ft asl to 3,164 ft asl, a loss of 33,821 ft in 20 minutes and covering 129 nm.
A brief level cruise followed overhead Laenna, Uppsala County, Sweden, lasting 2 minutes and covering 6 nm.
The subsequent descent began 4 miles south-east of Laenna, descending from 2,524 ft asl to 1,386 ft asl, a decrease of 1,138 ft in 2 minutes over 6 nm.
Final approach to runway 19L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport was executed from the north on a heading of 190.0°, at 4 nm and 1,263 ft agl.
Landing on runway 19L, which is 2,484 m long, the aircraft achieved a threshold speed of 127 kt. Touchdown occurred at 125 kt, with a touchdown distance of 308 m and a firm touchdown rate of minus 318 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 4.3 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 22 °C, wind 10 kt from 220°, a cross-wind of 5 kt and a head-wind component of 8 kt.
The total landing distance recorded was 1,448 m, representing 58 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 5 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 806 nm, lasted 117 minutes, and consumed 3,970 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 11 at LRTR Timişoara Traian Vuia Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 110.0° at 4 nm and 1,289 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.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was good at 125 kt and the touchdown distance was good at 271 m, with a good threshold height reported.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 119 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate rated fair at minus 235 fpm. The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned by 3.5 m from the centreline.
Rollout used a total landing distance of 678 m, representing 19 % of the 3,495 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good. Local weather was 23 °C, wind 4 kt from 110°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 3 kt. The overall score was 99.5 %.
Fine-tune the touchdown speed to reduce the slight excess and bring it closer to the target. Align the aircraft more precisely with the centreline to eliminate the 3.5 m offset.
