MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Ease the descent rate on final, flying a shallower path back onto the target glidepath angle rather than diving steep.
What happened: On final, the approach was flown at a steeper angle than the target glidepath for that segment.
Watch for: Watch the VSI and glidepath/VASI indication on final, keeping the descent angle matched to the target rather than steepening.
See Arrival Final 1
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,191 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 184 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 4.72 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 14R at SKBO El Dorado International Airport in Bogota, Colombia. The takeoff distance was 2,225 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 24°C temperature and a wind speed of 6 knots at 119°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south east of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from 9,415 feet above sea level to 19,606 feet above sea level, an increase of 10,190 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles west of Agua de Dios, Colombia, and lasting 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. However, this was followed by another climb phase, starting 2 miles east of Coello, Colombia, where the aircraft climbed from 19,646 feet above sea level to 22,555 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,908 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 3 miles south west of SKXZ Los Feria Girón Airport, Valle de San Juan, Colombia, and lasting 24 minutes, covering a distance of 169 nautical miles. However, this was followed by a descent phase, starting 2 miles north of Sucre, Colombia, where the aircraft descended from 22,706 feet above sea level to 9,416 feet above sea level, a decrease of 13,290 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another climb phase, starting 2 miles north east of Narino, Colombia, where the aircraft climbed from 9,332 feet above sea level to 10,567 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,235 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. However, this was followed by a descent phase, starting 1 mile south west of Narino, Colombia, where the aircraft descended from 10,491 feet above sea level to 6,373 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,118 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 02 at SKPS Antonio Nariño Airport was made from the south, heading 3.0° at 0 nautical miles and 466 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, but the touchdown point was 218 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 170 knots, which was excessively fast, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -3,120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 225°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 30.5 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 300 nautical miles, taking 87 minutes, and the aircraft used 3,492 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 aircraft attempted to land on runway 02 at SKPS Antonio Nariño Airport, but the landing was not executed as per the desired parameters. The aircraft's final approach was from the south, heading 3.0° at 0 nm and 466 ft above ground level (agl). However, the landing was marred by several issues.
The threshold height at 177 ft agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft was too high when approaching the runway. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 181 kt, which is a critical parameter that needs to be managed during landing. The aircraft's touchdown point was 218 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 170 kt was excessively fast. The touchdown rate was also very heavy at -3,120 fpm, which is a significant concern.
The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 20.9 m from the centreline, which can lead to uneven braking and reduced control during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 30.5 m from the centreline, which can compromise the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 22 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 225°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind was 2 kt, which is not significant enough to affect the landing. However, the combination of these factors and the pilot's handling of the aircraft resulted in a suboptimal landing.
Overall, the landing was scored 35.7%, indicating a significant deviation from the desired parameters. The aircraft's performance during the landing was compromised by several factors, including excessive height, speed, and misalignment. The pilots need to review and improve their techniques to ensure a safe and efficient landing in the future.
