MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Begin raising the nose sooner, at 11 ft, rather than waiting until 0.5 ft.
What happened: The flare began late at 0.5 ft, below the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter approaching 11 ft as the cue to start the flare.
See Arrival Landing
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 152 m gate: speed below 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 3,602 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 648 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Nuremberg Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 10, with a takeoff distance of 1,729 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nuremberg Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, reaching an altitude of 8,701 meters above sea level. This climb, which covered 78 nautical miles, took 12 minutes and involved an increase of 8,077 meters in altitude. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile west of Lohberg, Bavaria, Germany. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered 29 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent from 8,831 meters above sea level to 5,180 meters above sea level, a decrease of 3,650.8 meters in altitude, which took 7 minutes and covered 49 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered another level cruise phase, this time starting 1 mile north east of Grossschoenau, Austria, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The descent phase that followed began 1 mile south east of Zwettl Stadt, Austria, and involved a decrease of 4,226.8 meters in altitude from 5,135 meters above sea level to 908 meters above sea level. This descent took 12 minutes and covered 53 nautical miles.
The aircraft entered its final level cruise phase, starting 1 mile north of Gerasdorf bei Wien, Austria, and lasting for 3 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 at Vienna International Airport, flying from the north at a heading of 164.0 degrees and at an altitude of 408.8 meters above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 16, which had a length of 3,602 meters. The threshold height at 17.3 meters above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 136 knots. The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 132 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -0.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The total landing distance was 1,204 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 8 minutes to cover 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 235 nautical miles, and the flight took a total of 55 minutes. The aircraft used 1,827 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Vienna International Airport (LOWW) on runway 16, achieving a high score of 92.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 164.0° at an altitude of 408.8 meters above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The final approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 132 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown point was 232 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was not considered a significant deviation. The aircraft's descent rate was excellent, with a rate of -0.3 meters per second, indicating a controlled and stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the aircraft's performance. The runway threshold height was slightly above the target, but this did not affect the overall outcome of the landing.
The aircraft's touchdown speed and alignment with the runway were both perfect, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the final stages of the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
The total landing distance was 1,204 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop within a relatively short distance. Overall, the landing was executed smoothly and safely, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent control and precision during the final approach and touchdown.
