MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 11 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 3° of bank in the first climb segment and 2° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Stop the rotation once the sink is arrested at 18 ft, holding the normal landing attitude instead of continuing to pull back.
What happened: The flare pitch reached 3.9°, well above this type's ground attitude, and touchdown followed at a sink rate of 417 fpm. Over-rotating the flare like this usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: hold the normal landing attitude once sink is arrested at 18 ft.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,303 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Keflavik International Airport, situated in Reykjavík, Iceland, on runway 01. The takeoff roll was completed in 747 meters, utilizing 25% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, overcoming a headwind of 21 knots and a crosswind of 17 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 27 knots from a direction of 39 degrees.
Following a rapid initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, initially at an altitude of 25,723 feet above sea level. This phase was punctuated by several periods of climbing and descending, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 34,999 feet above sea level. The enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 107 minutes, covered a significant distance of 1,538 nautical miles. The aircraft's fuel consumption during this period was substantial, with a total of 3,289 kilograms of fuel being used.
The final approach to runway 02 at Jerez Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 2,982 feet above sea level to a touchdown point 104 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 99 knots, and the touchdown rate was -300 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 90 degrees. The total landing distance was 998 meters, which represented 43% of the available runway length. Following a short taxiing period, the aircraft arrived at the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 1,781 nautical miles in 173 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 02 at LEJR Jerez Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the runway. The threshold speed of 112 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed flare.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 99 kt was good, but the touchdown rate of -300 fpm was only fair, suggesting a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 998 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 89.3% reflecting the aircraft's good performance in several key areas, but also highlighting areas for improvement.
