MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 75 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 75 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 717 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 3.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,934 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 717 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 04R, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 17 °C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270 degrees. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 152 knots, covering a distance of 1,644 meters, which was 56% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, Nice, and continued its ascent to 34,009 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,982 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 10 minutes, as the aircraft flew 81 nautical miles south east of Mezzana Bigli, Italy. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 33,985 feet to 12,983 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. The descent phase was followed by another level cruise, lasting 10 minutes, as the aircraft flew 47 nautical miles north west of Feldkirch, Austria. The final descent phase took the aircraft from 12,911 feet to 3,695 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Innsbruck Airport, it began its final approach to runway 08, flying from the west at a heading of 80.0 degrees and 2 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed at a speed of 135 knots, slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown point was 259 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 117 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -348 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 1,257 meters, which was 66% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 339 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,768 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted 67 minutes.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWI Innsbruck Airport from the west was executed with a heading of 80.0° at 2 nm and 980 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 68 ft above ground level being above the target. The threshold speed of 135 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The aircraft touched down 259 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 117 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -348 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,257 m was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with good control and precision, resulting in a score of 89.0%.
