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 8.4 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 79 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 79 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 533 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 533 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320 taxied from the parking area to runway 06 at EHAM, covering 6 nm in 23 minutes.
The aircraft commenced the departure roll on runway 06 at EHAM, using a takeoff distance of 2,212 m (69 % of runway) and lifting off at 175 kt; local weather was temperature 22 °C, wind 13 kt at 80°, with a 5 kt crosswind and a 12 kt headwind.
Climb began overhead EHAM, ascending from 858 ft asl to 23,011 ft asl, an increase of 22,153 ft in 11 minutes while covering 65 nm.
Level cruise started 2 miles west of Stabroek, lasting 10 minutes and covering 80 nm.
Descent commenced 1 mile north of Anor, descending from 23,002 ft asl to 11,002 ft asl, a loss of 12,000 ft in 8 minutes over 50 nm.
A second level cruise began 1 mile north of Conde-sur-Aisne, lasting 5 minutes and covering 27 nm.
Descent resumed 1 mile south-west of Sery-Magneval, dropping from 11,010 ft asl to 4,665 ft asl, a decrease of 6,345 ft in 5 minutes across 24 nm.
Level cruise then started overhead Nointel, lasting 11 minutes and covering 42 nm.
Final descent began overhead Le Plessis-Bouchard, descending from 4,052 ft asl to 1,606 ft asl, a loss of 2,447 ft in 2 minutes over 8 nm.
The aircraft established final approach to runway 09L at LFPG from the west, heading 85.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 ft agl.
At 70 ft agl the crew executed a go-around on runway 09L at LFPG, climbing away before re-establishing a later approach.
Subsequent landing on runway 09L at LFPG used a runway length of 2,710 m; threshold height was reported at 81 ft agl (significantly above target) with a threshold speed of 143 kt, and also noted at 79 ft agl (well above target) with a threshold speed of 140 kt. Touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the touchdown zone at 141 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 475 fpm; alignment was perfect. Local weather was temperature 24 °C, wind 19 kt at 80°, with a 2 kt crosswind and a 19 kt headwind.
Total landing distance was 1,233 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The Airbus A320 taxied from the runway to parking in 6 minutes, covering 1 nm.
Overall the flight covered 454 nm, lasted 109 minutes, and consumed 317 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320 completed the final approach to runway 09L at LFPG Charles de Gaulle International Airport from the west on a heading of 85.0° at 4 nm and 1,249 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; temperature was 24 °C, wind 19 kt from 80°, with a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 19 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height reported as 81 ft agl, significantly above target, and also as 79 ft agl, well above target. Threshold speed was noted as slightly above target at 143 kt and also recorded as good at 140 kt.
Touchdown occurred 106 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 141 kt, a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at minus 475 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout distance was 1,233 m, representing 46 % of the 2,710 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
The primary refinements should address the excessive flare height and the slightly high touchdown speed to reduce the hard touchdown rate; adjusting the flare to achieve the target height and moderating speed to the target will improve touchdown smoothness while preserving the already strong alignment and runway usage.
