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 4.5 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 218 m past the target, landing at 675 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.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 1,771 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,771 m of the 3,183 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 675 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Sharjah International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 169 knots. The takeoff distance of 2,154 meters accounted for 62% of the runway length, with the local weather conditions of 39°C temperature and a 10-knot headwind contributing to the aircraft's performance.
As the aircraft climbed out of Sharjah, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 34,987 feet in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 176 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted 201 minutes and spanned 1,673 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,007 feet to 9,003 feet in 13 minutes and covering 89 nautical miles. This was followed by a series of short level cruises and descents, with the aircraft eventually beginning its final approach to runway 14 at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
The final approach was executed from the north-west, with the aircraft touching down 253 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 130 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -186 feet per minute, but the touchdown speed was slightly fast. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 7 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 2,000 nautical miles was achieved in 272 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 10,862 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft touched down on runway 14 at VGHS Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 kt, well within the acceptable range. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 144.0° from 4 nm out at 1,277 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 253 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run, while the touchdown speed of 130 kt was a little fast, but not excessively so.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown rate of -186 fpm, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline, which may have contributed to the over-run. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a headwind of 8 kt, were not particularly challenging, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected by the 1 kt crosswind.
The overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 1,684 m, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing score was 94.1%, reflecting a good but not outstanding performance.
