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 4.8 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 236 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 530 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, the Airbus A320 began its takeoff roll on runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 163 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold in 1,469 meters, utilizing 66% of the available length. Local weather conditions at the time featured a temperature of 26 °C, with a 10 kt headwind and a 6 kt crosswind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 1,044 ft to 36,440 ft in 17 minutes, covering 106 nm. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a 355-minute level cruise, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 35,340 ft to 7,553 ft in 16 minutes, covering 95 nm. This descent phase was followed by a series of short level cruises, as the aircraft navigated through the English airspace, eventually beginning its final approach to runway 09L at London Heathrow Airport.
The final approach was executed from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,286 ft above ground level. The landing was completed on runway 09L, which featured a length of 3,591 meters. The touchdown point was 118 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 126 kt and a rate of -213 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 1,522 nm, with a total fuel consumption of 8,732 kg and a flight duration of 226 minutes.
The final approach to runway 09L at EGLL London Heathrow Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,286 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 134 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was 118 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 126 kt was a little fast, resulting in a touchdown rate of -213 fpm, which is considered fair. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 19 °C and a 10 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,331 m, which accounts for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the optimal landing speed and touchdown point.
